Warming up

Current Surface Map
An area of low pressure is moving by to the north, dragging a warm front through the state today, followed by a weak cold frontal passage later this afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible with these two features. Highs today will push into the upper 70s to near 80.

High pressure off the coast will pump warm and humid air into the region tomorrow, setting the stage for more scattered showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be in the mid 70s.

A backdoor cold front will approach Wednesday night and Thursday. This will enhance an easterly flow and cause areas along the Bay to cool. Highs Thursday will be near 70 along and east of the Bay and will rise into the 80s west of I-95. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible again Thursday afternoon.

Unsettled pattern this week

Current Surface Map
A warm front currently over southwest Virginia will push north through the area this evening, bringing warmer air and unsettled weather for most of this week. Before the front makes it through the area, we will see another day in the low to mid 60s today under partly sunny skies.

The front pushes through this evening, bringing a chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm tonight.

The first in a series of disturbances will move through tomorrow, bringing another chance of showers and storms, while high temperatures soar into the upper 70s to near 80.

Sunny today, more showers tomorrow

Current Surface Map
High pressure builds in today, pushing yesterday’s cold front down into the Carolinas. Expect ample sunshine with breezy conditions and highs into the low 60s.

Skies will remain clear into tonight, before clouds and rain begin to overspread the area again towards morning. An area of low pressure will move along the front to our south, providing showers and possibly thunderstorms as we move towards tomorrow afternoon.

The rain chances will continue into tomorrow night, tapering off as we move into Sunday morning. Highs both days will be around 60.

Cloudy, chance of showers

Current Surface Map
Today will be much like yesterday, but with a lesser chance of showers. Today’s high temperatures will be held down by the cloud cover, but should reach the upper 50s to low 60s in most spots.

Another cold night on tap tonight, with lows in the upper 30s to near 40.

High pressure briefly moves in on Wednesday, bringing warmer temperatures and some breaks in the cloud cover. Highs are expected to reach the mid 60s, which is near normal for this time of year. The high will be displaced by another storm system that will first drag a warm front through the state Wednesday night and Thursday. This will bring another chance of rain to the area, mainly on Thursday.
