A pair of weak, dry fronts will cross the Mid-Atlantic through Monday morning resulting in an enhancement to northwest breezes. A warm front will lift across the area Monday night into Tuesday morning. A cold front will drop southward into the area during the middle of the week, then low pressure will develop over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and track eastward late in the week.
