.DISCUSSION...

Weak high pressure north of the region will maintain dry air in
place through the weekend, which is expected to keep shower and
thunderstorm activity isolated in nature through Sunday. An
additional frontal boundary looks to push through the Northeast
on Monday, and stall across the Mid-Atlantic states, which will
lead to increased chances starting Monday of next week for daily
showers and thunderstorms. Given the recent rainfall combined with 
moist boundary layer conditions, there are still no fire weather 
concerns at this time.
