Discussion
The comfortable and dry weather pattern that we’ve been experiencing in recent days will continue into the mid-week with large high pressure remaining in control of the northeastern part of the nation. A cold front will push through the region from late Thursday night into early Friday and then a secondary cold front arrives late Saturday. These two fronts will present our best chance in awhile for some rain in the Mid-Atlantic late in the week and early this weekend. High pressure takes control of the weather for the second half of the weekend as another cooler-than-normal air mass reaches the northeastern part of the country.
One final note, the month of August ended up with an average temperature of 2.3 degrees below-normal in Central Park…the 3rd coolest August in the past 25 years.
