Quieter for a couple of days...

A cold front is sliding east and out of the region today, and some drier air is following that front through the region. This will essentially eliminate rain chances for much of the foothills and piedmont as this slightly drier air takes hold.

Heat will build a bit with widespread 90-plus temps tomorrow and Thursday.

A potent disturbance will arrive into our region by Thursday afternoon. This looks like a setup that could produce some wind damage across the mid-Atlantic and into the Carolinas, so we will watch it.

Following that system, the weather looks extremely nice for Friday and most of the weekend.

Unsettled today...

A potent upper level disturbance is moving into the region today, and that disturbance will generate areas of showers and storms at times today and into tonight.

The overall atmosphere setup is supportive of at least some chance of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes, so we will need to keep a close watch on the storms.

The ground is also quite wet, so any areas of locally heavy rain could generate some flash flooding problems.

We will dry things out for tomorrow and Wednesday, and the heat will build a bit. In fact, many of us could top 90 during the mid-week period.

Another potent system will clip through here later Thursday, and at that point, the shower and storm chances look high again.

At the moment, the upcoming weekend is looking very nice with 80s and sunshine.
