Discussion

Low pressure has pushed away from the Mid-Atlantic region and the mid-week will feature drier and warmer conditions with high pressure in control of the weather. The late week will feature another frontal system that will generate an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms by Thursday night and a continuing chance on Friday and Saturday. Temperatures will remain at moderately warm levels through the upcoming weekend, but signs point to a warm-up that will likely bring afternoon highs into the 90’s for the middle and latter parts of next week.
