Backdoor cold front continues to make slow progress southwestward across the region tonight. The boundary will gradually washout overnight but the surface high will continue to build down the eastern seaboard. But with the slower movement, the push of cooler and drier air has been slower than models have forecast. As a result, have raised overnight lows over the SE VA and NE NC for tonight into the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. Otherwise expect clear sky and dry weather.
SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. As of 250 PM EDT Sunday .

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/. As of 110 PM EDT Sunday .
GFS trending closer to a slower (ECMWF) solution for later this week. Data shows an upper low moving across the Ohio Valley Wed nite and nern states Thurs with the trailing cold frontal passage across the local area Thurs aftrn and eve. Ahead of it, onshore flow continues the threat for sct- nmrs overrunning shwrs Wed nite and Thurs morning before a significant slug of moisture moves across the area Thurs aftrn with the fropa, pushing off the coast Thurs eve.
Given the increasing confidence, went ahead and bumped up PoPs Wed nite and Thurs to high chc/low end likelys for now. Any thunder limited to the actual fropa Thurs. Lows Wed nite in the 60s. Highs Thurs in the 70s to near 80 se. Shwrs end west-east Thurs nite. Cooler with lows 50-55 west, upr 50s-lwr 60s east.

AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. As of 800 PM EDT Sunday .
A back door cold front continues to push south and west across the Mid-Atlantic states this evening with the front stretching from near ECG to FVX. ALong the front, see some mvfr level stratus that should last a couple of hours before the drier air arrives and vfr conditions return. For the remainder of the area, the drier air is already beginning to arrive and the sky is mostly cloud free and should remain that way over night. High pressure will dominate the weather on Monday with drier air with a light nw as the high builds southward along the Eastern Seaboard. Overall expect mainly vfr conditions through the taf period outside of a short period of mvfr level ceilings at ECG through 2z-4z.
Outlook: VFR conditions then persist Mon thru Tue night, as high pres dominates. Moisture slowly increases by mid week ahead of a strong cold front, which crosses the area Thursday.
