Discussion

High pressure will settle over the Tennessee Valley over the next couple of days and then slide to coastal areas by later in the week. This pattern will open up the door for much warmer weather to push into the Mid-Atlantic region as southwesterly flow develops on the back side of the high pressure system.  Temperatures today should hold in the comfortable low-to-mid 70’s for afternoon highs and then approach the 80 degree mark on Wednesday. By the end of the work week and first part of the weekend, high temperatures near 90 degrees will be likely and then the warmth will slacken off a bit on Sunday as clouds and rain chances increase by later in the day. Low pressure will move in this direction from the Great Lakes late in the weekend and it’ll likely stay unsettled on Monday and Tuesday as well with a continuing chance of showers.
