Discussion

The comfortable and dry weather that we’ve been experiencing in recent days will continue here at 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 rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region from late tomorrow into Friday and then again late Saturday. High pressure takes control of the weather for the second half of the weekend as another much cooler-than-normal air mass spreads eastward from the Great Lakes/Upper Midwest into the northeastern states.
