Discussion
A secondary cool frontal system is sweeping through the Mid-Atlantic region this morning and it’ll usher in a comfortable air mass for the upcoming weekend. Humidity levels will drop noticeably later today and both days of the weekend should feature plenty of sunshine, comfortably warm conditions, and low humidity. The next front of note looks like it’ll arrive by the middle of next week with an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms from later Tuesday into Wednesday. One final note, the Perseid meteor showers peaks on Monday night, but conditions should be quite good this weekend for viewing (https://www.perspectaweather.com/blog/2019/8/5/1230-pm-perseid-meteor-shower-is-already-underwaypeaks-early-next-week).
