Looking Ahead:
Get ready for a beautiful weekend here at College Park! Temperatures will stay in the low 60s, with partly cloudy skies heading into and throughout the weekend.
Discussion:
We are staying dry and cool for the next foreseeable days, why is that so? High pressure is dominating the weather story for the remainder of this week and into the weekend, which is associated with a net downwards motion of air and stable atmospheric conditions. Although there is a cold front passing through our area, it will only bring in some clouds and cooler temperatures as we enter the weekend.
