Synopsis
High pressure over the area will drift out to sea late this week. A cold front passes through the region late Friday and Friday night, then becomes nearly stationary over the Mid-Atlantic this weekend. Low pressure develops on that boundary and lifts north through the region Sunday and Sunday night. High pressure returns for the start of the new week.
