Outlook
Broad high pressure will gradually move off the east coast today. A cold front will approach from the west early Tuesday and then stall across the region for the better part of the week. Several weak low-pressure centers moving along this boundary will keep the weather unsettled through late week and into the weekend.

Mark Meadows has been named to become President Trump's fourth Chief of Staff in 38 months. There has been no announcement who, if anyone, will serve out the remainder of his term. If a special election is held, it may wait until November due to the expense of calling a stand-alone special election. [LINK]
