High pressure off the east coast will control the weather through tomorrow and temperatures will soar to 90+ degrees in many spots along the I-95 corridor. Clouds will tend to increase on Saturday as a frontal system approaches the Mid-Atlantic region and showers and thunderstorms are possible at night. While there can be some lingering shower on Sunday, much - if not all - of the day should be rain-free to close out the weekend. Quite warm and dry weather should dominate the scene early next week as a new high pressure system takes control in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Warmer air has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region on the backside of high pressure that is headed to the western Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures today should reach the upper 80s around here, the lower 90’s on Friday and the low-to-mid 90’s on Saturday. An upper-level trough of low pressure will approach the area later this weekend and bring us the chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday night. The threat of showers will continue on Sunday…maybe a PM thunderstorm…but much of the day should be rain-free.

With thousands of lives on the line, there is no doubt that the weather forecast made for the D-Day invasion in Normandy, France during World War II was the most important of all-time and one of the most difficult as well given the lack of sophisticated forecasting tools that we enjoy in today’s world. The first satellite image was still nearly sixteen years away (TIROS on April 1, 1960) and reliable computer forecast models were still decades away. This Saturday, June 6th, marks the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day invasion and the weather forecast for that historic event makes for quite an interesting story in what turned out to be a pivotal moment in world history.
And now, the weather forecast for this historical event and the intense pressure behind it has been captured in a movie appropriately named “Pressure” which focuses on the 72 hours leading up to the D-Day landings. Years of detailed planning went into the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, but success hinged on one element that no military commander could control — the weather. Defying his colleagues, Captain James Martin Stagg advised General Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower to postpone the invasion of Normandy by one day from June 5th to June 6th because of uncertain weather conditions in a weather forecast that changed the course of World War II and altered world history.

Warmer air has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region on the backside of high pressure that is headed to the western Atlantic Ocean. Temperatures today should reach the middle 80s around here, the upper 80’s on Friday and near 90 degrees on Saturday. An upper-level trough of low pressure will approach the area later this weekend and bring us the chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday night. The threat of showers will continue on Sunday…maybe a PM thunderstorm…but much of the day should be rain-free.

The weather pattern will be quiet, dry and comfortably warm for the next few days with strong high pressure in control over the Tennessee Valley. Temperatures will remain moderate through Friday with afternoon highs generally in the low-to-mid 80’s and then the middle 80’s are likely during the weekend.

High pressure has settled over the Tennessee Valley and it’ll shift to the western Atlantic Ocean over the next few days. This re-positioning of the high pressure will open up the door for much warmer air to push into the Mid-Atlantic region as low-level southwesterly flow develops on the back side of the high pressure system. Temperatures today should approach the 80 degree mark for afternoon highs and then likely reach the middle 80’s tomorrow, and near the 90 degree mark on Friday and Saturday. By later Sunday, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase in the Mid-Atlantic region as low pressure heads in this direction from the Great Lakes. It’ll likely stay unsettled and turn cooler on Monday and Tuesday of next week with a continuing chance of showers.
