Discussion
Very nice weather conditions will continue in the region for another day as we close out the work week, but then as high pressure pushes off the east coast this weekend, changes will come to our air mass with increasing heat and humidity. By Sunday afternoon, high temperatures around here should flirt with the 90 degree mark and there will be an increased shot at showers and thunderstorms although most of the day will be rain-free. The shower and thunderstorm threat will continue on Monday and Tuesday in the Mid-Atlantic region, but most of those days should be rain-free as well.
At the nearby Atlantic beaches, the high waves and rip currents of recent days should subside this weekend as the remains of Hurricane Cristobal continue to race away into the North Atlantic. In fact, it may one of those rare occasions in which there are no tropical storms to talk about in the Atlantic Basin during the normally active period around Labor Day - and perhaps no tropical cyclones anywhere across the globe.
