REACHING THE MID TO UPPER 70S OVER MOST LOCATIONS, A BIT COOLER
AT THE IMMEDIATE COAST. LOWS WILL AVERAGE IN THE 50-55F RANGE.

LITTLE FANFARE, SO A DRY FORECAST PERSISTS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
RETURN FOR MONDAY. EXPECT PLENTY OF SUN WITH HIGHS CLOSER TO
SEASONAL NORMS.
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/

SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO PASS OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES LATER
