Here is a look at the weather features that will affect the region
over the next several days.

A cold front has pushed through the region with lingering showers
pushing off to our east through the afternoon. High pressure will
build south of the area Friday while low pressure moves to the 
northeast, causing gusty winds. A front will become draped across 
the Mid Atlantic by Saturday and not move much through early next 
week. This will lead to unsettled weather as waves of low pressure
move along the boundary.
