Discussion

The week started with high pressure to our north in control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region, but changes are on the way. Low pressure near the Carolina coastline has intensified during the past 24 hours and it has a good chance of producing showers around here from later today into Wednesday. It will also become quite breezy and an onshore flow of air will keep it unseasonably cool for the next couple of days. The heaviest rainfall and strongest winds associated with this coastal low pressure system will extend from from southeastern Virginia to the southern half of the Delmarva Peninsula to southern New Jersey. High pressure will then follow on its heels for the latter part of the week bringing us more in the way of warm and dry weather conditions.
