Warm, dry week on tap

High pressure off the coast and low pressure to the west will continue to pump warm air up the east coast today, setting the stage for another warm and dry day. Highs today will again be in the mid to upper 80s under mostly sunny skies.

A weakening cold front will cross the area tonight, bringing in cooler air tomorrow and Wednesday. Highs tomorrow will be near 60 in the mountains, in the low 70s elsewhere and highs Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 60s statewide.

Sunny and warm through the weekend

Current Surface Map
As high pressure moves off the coast today, southerly flow around it will set up and begin to pump warmer air into the region. Highs today will push into the mid 60s and will rise into the mid 70s tomorrow and low 80s on Sunday. The high will also continue the stretch of dry weather through the weekend.

As a strong area of low pressure moves into the center of the country, the southerly flow will increase and temperatures will rise into the mid 80s on Monday and Tuesday.

Sunny and cool stretch continues

Current Surface Map
High pressure building in from the north will help push a strong storm system to the south and away from the area. It will also continue the dry and sunny conditions through the weekend.

Today will be mostly sunny with highs around 60. Temperatures will drop into the 30s tonight, but a light wind should help keep frost from forming in most areas.

Tomorrow is Opening Day for the Orioles and the weather will cooperate. Expect sunny skies, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.

Today will be partly sunny and warm, with highs in the low 70s in most areas. This afternoon, a cold front will cross the area and will usher in cooler air for the remainder of the week and into the weekend. There is a very slight chance of a shower with this frontal passage.

Temperatures tonight will fall back into the low 40s and will approach 60 tomorrow under sunny skies. Friday looks to be a few degrees warmer with abundant sunshine. This should make for a great Opening Day for the Orioles.

Rain develops this afternoon

Current Surface Map
An area of low pressure currently over Missouri will move into the Great Lakes today, bringing a warm front through the area this evening followed by a cold front early tomorrow morning. A similar situation to last week may develop, where the cold air is harder to dislodge than anticipated, which may limit the advance of the warm front. In any event, temperatures this afternoon will push into the mid 50s, ahead of the cloud cover and rain that will develop later this afternoon or evening.
