Discussion

There was some much needed rain over the weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region and another round is likely during the middle of the week. High pressure will be in control as we start the new work week and after a chilly start, sunshine will boost temperatures to mild levels for the afternoon. A weak frontal system approaches late Tuesday – possibly with a couple of showers - and then a strong low pressure area will impact the area at mid-week with periods of rain likely from late Wednesday into early Thursday.
