A NORTHERLY FLOW KEEPS US COOL ON SATURDAY, BUT ON SUNDAY, TEMPERATURES SHOULD BEGIN TO INCREASE... DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY

A large high pressure system to our west will keep us dry this weekend, but it is also producing a northerly flow that will keep us on the cool side on Saturday. On Sunday, forecasters believe that our winds will swing around to a westerly direction which will result in an increase in temperatures. No exception warmth is expected but just being normal will feel very mild as we've been through an extended stretch of below normal temperatures. We're also entering the time of year when temperatures can be cooler near the water when the winds are off the cooler water. That may be the case on Saturday as temperatures inland will be higher than areas to the east, such as northern VA Beach. The dry, mild weather should last through Wednesday. Then, we'll have to watch a low pressure system developing to our south and west. One thing is for sure, precipitation type will not be an issue with this storm. It should all be in the liquid variety. I'll have an update on Sunday.
