Discussion
The threat of showers and thunderstorms has returned to the Mid-Atlantic and the risk will continue through tomorrow night as a frontal system only painfully slowly works its way through the region. In addition, low pressure will ride along the frontal boundary zone from the central Plains and it can enhance rainfall around here on Saturday. The second half of the weekend and early part of next week should feature dry and quite warm conditions and then a hot spell begins on Tuesday and likely continues through the rest of the week with afternoon highs well up in the 90’s all along the I-95 corridor.
