Discussion
A cold front will cross the area tonight and pave the way for a dry, comfortably cool weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region. The big player on the field this weekend on the heels of the frontal passage will be a strong high pressure system located over southeastern Canada. This system will produce an onshore flow of air in the Mid-Atlantic region keeping a lid on temperatures as we progress through the weekend. This high pressure will push off the coast early next week opening the door for the chance of showers by Tuesday.
