MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT EARLY IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH SOLUTIONS DIVERGING SIGNIFICANTLY BY THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES TUESDAY NIGHT WILL SHIFT EASTWARD INTO THE ATLANTIC WEDNESDAY...ALLOWING A RETURN FLOW TO SET UP OVER THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING BACK INTO THE REGION FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
