The peripheral region of an intense upper-level ridge can often be quite an active area for thunderstorms this time of year and this summer has been no exception. Specifically, the northeastern quadrant of an intense upper-level ridge where northwesterly flow dominates in the overall clockwise circulation around high pressure can often contain numerous bands of thunderstorms, complexes of thunderstorms and even long-lasting lines known as derechos. This “ring of fire” region in the outer peripheral of high pressure with northwesterly flow aloft has been repeatedly showing up this summer extending from the Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic and numerous severe weather outbreaks have been the result. A repeat performance is on the table during the next few days with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday likely to feature numerous bands of strong-to-severe thunderstorms that will potentially impact the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.

There will be a warm front pushing through the region today and then a cold front on Friday and the weather will be quite unsettled as a result. There is the chance for showers and thunderstorms at just about anytime today and tonight…some of the storms can be strong-to-severe and some of the rain can be heavy. Another shower or thunderstorm is possible on Friday as the cold front works it way off the eastern seaboard. High pressure then pushes back into the area for the weekend providing warm conditions for both Saturday and Sunday and plenty of sunshine.
One final note, there is a lunar eclipse tonight that peaks at 12:13am (ET) with 96% of the lunar surface covered by Earth’s shadow…weather permitting of course and it looks mostly cloudy.
