After locally drenching showers and thunderstorms affect Washington, D.C., on Saturday, some sunshine will brighten mom's day on Sunday.
A slow-moving storm affecting the Central states much of this week will pick up some forward speed this weekend.
As moisture with the storm system drifts in on Saturday, there is the potential for locally heavy showers and thunderstorms and the corresponding travel delays and disruptions to outdoor activities.
A small area of high pressure should be just strong enough to allow dry air to mix down from aloft and break up clouds and prevent shower activity in the Northeast on Sunday.
With more of a westerly flow of air, chilly air from the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay will be shut off.
The pattern will bring the warmest weather of the year so far. Temperatures will climb well into the 80s F in many locations Sunday and Monday. Temperatures could even touch the 90-degree mark early next week.
