Discussion

High pressure stays in control into mid-week at which time it’ll shift offshore and open the door for hotter and more humid air to flow into the Mid-Atlantic region. The July 4th holiday on Thursday will feature hot and humid conditions and the chance of PM showers and thunderstorms. The threat of showers and thunderstorms will continue on Friday and Saturday as well to go along with the hot and humid conditions as a cool front slowly advances in this direction from our northwest. Elsewhere, Hurricane Beryl is now a category 5 storm over the Caribbean Sea and headed to Jamaica on Wednesday and the Yucatan Peninsula by the end of the week.
