The Weather Service in Baltimore MD/Washington DC has issued a forecast that predicts a relatively mild start to the week with dry conditions, as high pressure builds over the region from the Midwest. According to their latest update, Monday through Wednesday should see near to below-average temperatures and reduced humidity levels. Highs during the day are expected to stay in the low to mid-80s with overnight lows dropping into the 60s and even the 50s in higher elevations, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
While, a stalled frontal zone over the Carolinas keeps it cooler and drier in the Baltimore-Washington area with temperatures that have already dipped into the 60s and 50s, Tuesday's outlook maintains this trend. The upper trough in New England should be exiting stage right in the early morning hours on Tuesday, with high pressure promoting sunny skies. Although there's a wildcard of potential isolated showers midway through the week, the odds are in favor of a barricade of dry air keeping any real precipitation at bay.
On the aviation front, the National Weather Service forecasts a streak of VFR conditions through mid-week owing to domineering high pressure. Even our marine interests get in on the uneventful action, with northwesterly winds keeping things steady as the ocean sails and barely a whisper of a wave forecast to cause a stir. And, if you're scoping out the shifting tides, reassuring news comes in the form of the coastal forecast that sees no risks of tidal anomalies stirring the pot beyond the average 0.25 to 0.50 feet. Translation: flood watches can take a rain check for now.
