.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will remain situated across the lower Mid-Atlantic 
this morning, though will gradually weaken through the day. This

and evening, with mostly dry conditions forecasted through the 
day. Though slightly warmer than those of Friday, afternoon 
temperatures will remain below normal, with highs holding in the 
low 70s to low 80s. Minimum relative humidity today will remain 
above 50 percent, and winds will remain less than 10 mph. The 
next chance for widespread wetting rainfall will be Monday night

strong to severe thunderstorms, potentially in two rounds.
