Discussion              

High pressure off the east coast continues to be the dominant player in the Mid-Atlantic region and it will produce dry weather here through Friday.  Meanwhile, low pressure has formed in the northern Gulf of Mexico and its moisture field will push northeastward through the southeastern states by the weekend. In fact, this system looks like it will increase chances here for showers by Saturday and then a cold front moving this way from our west will likely generate additional showers from Sunday night into Monday.  Cooler air will follow the cold frontal passage for the early part of next week.
