High pressure dominates over the area this weekend. Moisture moving inland from the Atlantic to the southern Appalachians will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms each afternoon and evening through the weekend. A cold front will move slowly across the area on Monday before stalling just southeast of the region on Tuesday. Despite rebuilding high pressure, moisture returning over the front should lead to scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms the rest of the week.
