Showers in the Forecast
Today will be day 32 in our string of above normal high temps at National Airport. The streak may keep going through Mid Week, but I think we are going to get some rain. A cold front will approach the region on Tuesday...it will be a slow mover because there will be no push behind it in the upper levels. At the surface, high pressure is moving off the coast and we will be in a Southerly flow ahead of the front. So, it should be able to grab some moisture off the Atlantic and from the Gulf. The front will not make it very far to our South on Tuesday Night...a big area of low pressure will be developing, and eventually getting cut off , in the upper levels across the Ohio Valley. That will stop the progress of this front and we might be able to get some overrunning showers on Wednesday as well. There is a wide range in model solutions on the placement of this area of low pressure and that gives several possibilities for our weather at the end of the week.
