WARM AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL DAYS... HIT OR MISS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULDN'T TOTALLY RUIN YOUR OUTDOOR PLANS THIS HOLIDAY

The weather map features a departing high pressure system out in the Atlantic, a very slow moving frontal system approaching VA from the NW and a low pressure system swirling near TN. The S-SW flow around the high pressure system in conjunction with the low well to our SW will bring up higher humidity into our part of the nation. This combined with ample sunshine and some slight instability from very week shortwaves, should produce hit or miss showers and thunderstorms over the next few days. Here's the way forcasters break the it down... Today (Sunday), chances of rain will be very low, especially east of I-95. But, when you have all this humidity around, you can never rule out a pop-up storm from occurring. On Monday, the chances go up a bit, but forecasters are not predicting a wash-out for anyone. Since the front will be just to our north for part of the upcoming week, precipitation chances will remain with us for much of the week. Pinpointing what time period that will have the highest chances is nearly impossible at this point given the current weather pattern. I will have an update on Memorial Day.
