THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION WILL REMAIN IN THE PATH OF UPPER WAVES DROPPING SOUTHEAST FROM THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. BROAD ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL HELP STEER THESE WAVES INTO THE REGION WHILE ALLOWING VERY WARM AIR FROM THE WEST TO PUSH INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
