.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build into the area from the north and west
through the middle of next week. An upper trough will arrive
late next week bringing the next chance for unsettled weather.


.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
High pressure will build into the region to our north today into
tonight. Meanwhile a cutoff low lingers offshore, thus keeping a
little bit of moisture along the Chesapeake Bay today. This
could lead to a few showers or a light drizzle through the
afternoon hours at times. High temperatures today will be right
around seasonal averages, reaching the low to mid 70s.

Skies should clear out significantly tonight, with overnight
lows expected to be in the 50s. Some patchy fog is possible once
again out in the valleys out west.


.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
The high will continue to slowly build overhead for Sunday
through Monday night. More sunshine is expected Sunday and this
will allow for a warmer afternoon with highs in the mid 70s to
near 80 for most areas. Dry conditions will persist Sunday night
as well. Further warming is then expected into Monday, as highs
are expected to reach the low 80s for most.


.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
An upper level ridge will remain in control of the region through
Thu. The ridge pattern breaks down rapidly Thu night-Fri as a trough
deepens across the Great Lks region and pivots east through the area
at the end of next week. Moisture returns into the area Thu night
into Fri ahead of a strong frontal passage Fri night. Expect
scattered shower activity with this front before the cold front
clears the area early on Saturday. Temperatures will remain well
above normal during the middle of the week before dropping below
normal for the start of the following week.

Climate — Genesis 8:22
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.

Sea Level — Job 38:8-11
Who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth and issued from the womb; when I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band; when I fixed My limit for it, and set bars and doors; when I said, ‘This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud waves must stop!’
