There is the threat of severe weather and heavy rainfall on Saturday in the Mid-Atlantic region as the overall weather pattern will result in high instability across the area. The pattern will feature an intense ridge of high pressure centered over the Rocky Mountain States with northwesterly flow over the Great Lakes/Northeast US. Often, this kind of flow results in “lines” or “complexes” of thunderstorms dropping to the south and east from the Great Lakes to the northeastern states and that is on the table for the first half of the weekend. The potential exists for heavy rain and localized flash flooding as precipitable water amounts in the atmosphere will climb to quite high levels. Meanwhile, wildfire smoke from Canada will continue to be an issue as we slide into the end of the week, and it will dim the skies at times through Friday.

Today will be another hot one in the Mid-Atlantic region with afternoon highs well up in the 90’s in many areas and there will be areas of smoke from still-active Canadian wildfires to our north and west. In fact, the wildfire smoke could stick around into tomorrow given the current directional flow of low-level air and it will certainly dim the skies at times. There can be a shower or thunderstorm later today, tonight, and on Friday, and the weekend will get off to an active start with a renewed chances of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday.

Temperatures will soar through the 90’s today in the Philly metro region with strong high pressure ridging extending into the area from the Northern Plains...likely the hottest day of the week. A frontal system will pass through the area later in the day and it’ll usher in some wildfire smoke from Canada that can stick around for a couple of days and dim the skies at times. It stays very warm during the next couple of days and then the pattern becomes much more unsettled this weekend with the chance of strong-to-severe thunderstorms and some heavy rainfall on both days.

The overall weather pattern may be setting up for a severe weather and heavy rain threat in the Mid-Atlantic region during the first half of the upcoming weekend. The pattern will feature an intense ridge of high pressure centered over the Rocky Mountain States by the weekend with northwesterly flow over the Great Lakes/Northeast US. Often times, this kind of flow results in “lines” or “complexes” of thunderstorms dropping to the south and east from the Great Lakes to the northeastern states and that is on the table for Saturday. The potential exists for heavy rain/flash flooding as well as precipitable water in the atmosphere will climb to high levels. The weekend threat will be preceded by hot weather that can see temperatures surge to near the century mark on Wednesday anywhere along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. One final note, wildfire smoke from Canada will likely drop south and east into the Mid-Atlantic region during the next couple of days and it certainly can dim the skies at times.

High pressure in the upper part of the atmosphere will expand to the Mid-Atlantic region today from the Northern Plains leading to hotter weather around here for the next few days. In fact, temperatures are likely to reach the low-to-mid 90’s today, and then soar to near 100 degrees on Wednesday – likely the hottest day of the week. The next few days will generally be relatively quiet in terms of precipitation chances though an isolated thunderstorm or two will be possible. More widespread unsettled weather returns at the end of the week and during the early part of the weekend with the approach of a cold frontal system. This unfolding pattern for the early part of the weekend could result in a heavy rain/flash flooding threat for the Mid-Atlantic region and possible strong-to-severe thunderstorms.
