High pressure is building into the region today, resulting in partly sunny skies with highs in the low to mid 30s.

Tomorrow will be similar to today, but a few degrees warmer with highs in the mid to upper 30s.

This weekend, we will be impacted by two separate areas of low pressure. At one point, it looked as those these two pieces of energy may phase and produce a significant storm along the east coast. Now, it appears the southern low will scoot by to our south and the northern low will move by without phasing. This will result in a chance of light snow Saturday into Sunday but nothing significant. Highs both days will be in the mid 30s.

Mostly sunny and cold today; Warmer through weekend

The storm system that brought snow to the deep south clipped our state overnight, spreading anywhere from a dusting north and west of I-95 to 5″ across the lower eastern shore. As that system departs, high pressure will build in. As a result, today will be mostly sunny but cold, with highs around 20.

High pressure will push offshore tomorrow allowing southerly flow to warm temperatures into the weekend. Highs tomorrow will be around 30 under mostly sunny skies.

Friday will see increasing clouds and temperatures returning to near normal, with highs in the low 40s.
