It is the last week of spring and the sun is struggling mightily to come out this afternoon. A stationary front stretching from DC to Tucson is to blame for all the clouds, mist and fog. The front should get some pushback late this afternoon. With the solstice so near it won't take long for the temperature to jump to 80 degrees (but not the curious 86 predicted by NY1) once the sun comes out.

The high pressure system responsible for the drier weather won't be here for much more than a day. That day is looking really nice though. Look for a mostly sunny and dry Tuesday with a high in the low 80s.

Rain is expected for much of the day Wednesday as the storm system that is in such a hurry to chase the clear skies away stalls across the region. Behind that front, however, is plenty of warm, dry air. Daily highs are expected to reach the low 80s on Thursday and climb to near 90 by Saturday.
