Discussion

High pressure centered over southeastern Canada will shift slowly offshore during the next couple of days and it will continue to have a positive effect on the weather around here. Given the position of the high, there will be a continuing low-level flow of air from the ocean (i.e., east-to-northeast winds) and this will keep temperatures in check right through the weekend. There is a tropical wave to monitor sitting just off the Carolina coastline, but odds favor it making a move to the northeast rather than to the northwest reducing its chances greatly for impacting the Mid-Atlantic region.
