Discussion

High pressure over the Northeast US will continue to be the dominant player around here as we head into the weekend and there will be plenty of sunshine over the next few days along with seasonably warm conditions. Heat and humidity will build noticeably as we head into the late weekend and early part of next week and so will the chances of showers and thunderstorms. In fact, there could end up being some substantial rainfall by the middle of next week as a strong cool front closes in on the east coast. A cooler overall weather pattern appears likely for the Mid-Atlantic region later in the month.
