A cold front will stall southeast of the area this weekend.
High pressure over eastern Canada builds south early next week
while a tropical system lifts northward across the southwestern
Atlantic. Depending on track, additional rainfall chances are
possible next week.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Weak cold front across southern Maryland is expected to become
stationary over the weekend over southeast Virginia. Low-level
drying will continue across the area through early Saturday,
particularly across the northwest half of the fcst area as
front slowly pushes southeast of the area. However, high level
moisture will continue to stream into the area on southwest jet

showers could start making a comeback late tonight/early
Saturday as forcing from approaching upper low to the soutwest
increases.

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Widespread showers are expected Saturday as forcing and moisture
increase on east side of approaching upper low. Showers should
start exiting the area to the east late Saturday night/early
Sunday. Much cooler Saturday due to thick clouds and rain with
highs in the mid to upper 60s.
Sunday...Upper low starts filling in, while at the surface,
high pressure center over the Upper Midwest starts shifting east
toward the northern mid-Atlantic shunting clouds and precip
chances across central and southern VA.

There remains and will continue to remain uncertainties with respect
to how the two tropical systems in the Atlantic impact the East
Coast early next week. Fluctuations in model guidance continue as
additional data in ingested into the models. Rain appears likely at
times, though there remains considerably uncertainty with the
northern extent given the Canadian High to the north and amounts.
Lots of uncertainties and NHC has the latest official forecast at
hurricanes.gov.

VFR today and tonight. IFR cigs expected Saturday as showers
return. After rain/showers exit Saturday night, expect low

additional cig/vsby restrictions likely. Conditions will improve
Sunday, except at CHO where low clouds are likely to persist all

Any impacts are likely related to any tropical landfalls or
remnants. Recommend continuing to look at the latest forecast as
confidence increases over the next few days.
