The two-day respite from the heat ends today and temperatures will soar to the upper 90’s for afternoon highs. In fact, with strong high pressure ridging nearly stationary over the western US, the extreme heat will continue for the next several days. High temperatures on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday can certainly flirt with the 100-degree mark and general rain-free conditions will keep the risk of wildfire on the high side.

Strong high pressure is nearly stationary over the western Atlantic Ocean, and it will continuously pump tropical air from south-to-north along the eastern seaboard in coming days. As a result, it stays very warm around here with uncomfortably high humidity levels and there will be a daily shot of showers and thunderstorms primarily focused on the afternoon and evening hours.

El Nino continues to intensify across the central Pacific Ocean with sea surface temperatures rising to their highest levels so far this summer season. In fact, the latest water temperatures in the region known as “3.4” are now more than two degrees above-normal which places this El Nino event into the “strong” category and, when all is said and done, it’ll likely rival the greats of recent history including 1982-1983, 1997-1998, and 2015-2016.
In comparison with the sea surface temperatures anomalies for the full month of July with the El Nino episode of 2015-2016, many similarities appear on the maps. This specific comparison will be interesting to follow in coming months to determine if 2015-2016 could be used as an analog year for the upcoming winter outlook and provide us with some clues as to what we might expect late this year and early next year. Interestingly, the last blizzard that produced 2 feet of snow all along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor took place in late January of 2016 during the late stages of that El Nino event.

On the heels of a warm frontal passage, humid air has pushed northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic region here at mid-week and it’ll stick around for a prolonged period of time. A strong “Bermuda-high” pressure system centered over the western Atlantic Ocean will continuously pump humid and quite warm air northward during the next several days from the Gulf region to New England. There will be occasional showers today, tonight and tomorrow and thunderstorms are possible primarily during the PM hours…any rain can fall heavily and produce localized flash flooding conditions.

Strong high pressure will park over the western Atlantic during the next several days and bring us rather typical “Bermuda-high” type summertime weather. On the backside of the high, a broad southwesterly flow will form along the eastern seaboard and very warm and humid air will stick around right through the upcoming weekend and there will be a daily shot of showers and thunderstorms primarily focused on the afternoon and evening hours.
