.DISCUSSION...

A warm but mostly pleasant day today will give way to increasing
temperatures and unpleasantness through the end of the weekend 
and into early next week as an upper level ridge looks to be 
centered directly over the Mid-Atlantic states by Monday. This 
combined with high pressure will lead to well above average 
temperatures approaching 100 in the Piedmont each day through 
the extended forecast as this upper level ridge doesn't look to 
break down until possibly next weekend. 

Minimum RH values look to reach their lowest Monday through
Friday afternoons as high temperatures combined with deep mixing allow 
RH values to drop into the upper 30s across much of the region,
and especially across the Piedmont where highs will climb to nearly
100 each day during that stretch.
