Discussion              

A cool front will approach the region later today and then move slowly across the area during the next 24-36 hours.  As such, it’ll stay unsettled around here with the chance of showers and thunderstorms later today, tonight and on Friday though much of the time will be rain-free.  The cool front will push far enough to the south and east by the weekend to allow for the arrival of a comfortable air mass into the Mid-Atlantic region.  After a flirtation with the 90 degree mark later today, temperatures should generally be confined to the 80’s for afternoon highs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and even into the early part of next week.
