Strong high pressure continues to reside over the Northeast US and southeastern part of Canada and it will keep us comfortably warm and generally rain-free during the next couple of days. There are signs that a tropical system now over the southwestern Caribbean Sea could strengthen as it moves northward over the next few days and very well could be situated over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend as a hurricane (would be named "Nate"). The potential even exists for tropical moisture from this system to ride up northward through the eastern US states during the early part of next week and producing some much needed rain around here in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Strong high pressure will remain in control of our weather through at least mid-week and our dry pattern will continue. There will be a frontal system that approaches on Thursday, but it looks to be weak and will likely be able to only produce an isolated shower or two late in the week. Temperatures will continue to be pretty comfortable through the remainder of the week with no uncomfortable heat or humidity expected in the region.

The week will begin on a nice note with plenty of sunshine and comfortable conditions as high pressure continues to dominate the scene for the northeastern portion of the country. By the middle of the week, this high pressure system will shift off the coast and the result will be slightly warmer weather for a couple of days. A weak frontal system will push through the area later in the week and temperatures will trend down again.

Cooler air moved into the Mid-Atlantic region yesterday and there will be a reinforcing cold front passing through this area by the early part of the weekend. As a result, temperatures are likely to generally hold in the upper 60’s this weekend for highs as strong high pressure builds into the Northeast US.

Tropical Storm Maria is now taking a sharp right turn and is finally headed out-to-sea just as noticeably cooler air arrives in the Mid-Atlantic region. A northwesterly wind today is ushering in the cooler air mass and it looks like it’ll stay on the comfortably cool side through the upcoming weekend and into the early part of next week. In fact, high temperatures this weekend are likely to be confined to 70 degrees or lower in the DC metro region on both days. It will, however, likely turn warmer again later next week.

Maria will soon take a sharp right turn and finally head out-to-sea as a cold front approaches the eastern US. This cold front will usher in much cooler air for the Mid-Atlantic region and we’ll likely experience highs close to the 70 degree mark this weekend – a noticeable change from the recent bout with 90 degrees.

Hurricane Maria continues to move slowly in a general northward direction over the western Atlantic and it will come close to the Outer Banks of North Carolina before it makes a sharp turn to the right and goes “out-to-sea” as a strong cold front approaches the Mid-Atlantic region from the middle of the country. That cold front will bring a much desired change in temperatures to the I-95 corridor by the weekend and we’ll experience highs closer to 70 degrees by Saturday compared to the recent flirtations with the 90 degree mark.

Hurricane Maria continues to move slowly in a general northward direction and it will come be increasingly influenced by strong upper-level ridging now building over southeastern Canada and the Northeast US. This influence by the high will allow Maria to come quite close to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but then an advancing cold front will push it out-to-sea once and for all. We’ll continue with dry and very warm weather around here over the next few days, but significantly cooler weather will arrive at the end of the week.

High pressure will continue to control our weather for the next several days in the Mid-Atlantic region leading to an extended period of dry and very warm conditions. Meanwhile, Hurricane Maria is still a concern as it will slide to the east of the Bahama Island chain over the next couple of days and then make an uncomfortable approach to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. There is likely to be some interaction between Hurricane Maria and the remains of Jose in the north Atlantic and this will have an influence on the future path of Maria. It is still too early to write off the possibility that Hurricane Maria will eventually have some kind of impact on the US east coast.

High pressure will control our weather for the next several days leading to an extended period of dry and warm conditions for the Mid-Atlantic region. Meanwhile, Hurricane Maria continues to push away from Puerto Rico and will slide to the east of the Bahama Island chain over the next couple of days. After that, there is likely to be some interaction between Maria and the remains of Jose which will have an influence on the future path of Maria. It is still too early to write off the possibility that Hurricane Maria will eventually have some kind of impact on the US east coast.
