Discussion
An incoming frontal system will keep it unsettled around here today and occasional showers and maybe a thunderstorm…any storm can be on the strong side. In addition to the threat for rain, today will feature warmer, and more humid conditions, and the winds will become quite noticeable gusting from a southwesterly direction past 30 mph or so. The passage of the frontal system later tonight will open the door for some decent June weather for the Mid-Atlantic region in the Friday and Saturday time frame and then clouds should increase on Sunday ahead of a possible soaking rain event on Monday.
