Discussion

The comfortable and dry weather pattern that we’ve been experiencing in recent days will continue right through the upcoming Labor Day weekend and into the early part of next week. A cold front will cross our area this morning paving the way for another cooler-than-normal air mass to push into the Mid-Atlantic region and some outlying locations are likely to bottom out near 50 degrees during the next couple of nights. High pressure takes control of the weather for the weekend and this same system will hang around long enough to produce more comfortable, dry weather here during the first half of next week. Another cold frontal system will then enter the picture by the middle of next week representing the leading edge of yet another widespread cooler-than-normal air mass...this next cold front has a chance of bringing some beneficial rainfall to the area...we’ll see.
