In a movie filled with memorable quotes, one of the shortest and simplest might have been “It’s a Twister!”, but it was part of a tornado scene that is still considered to be a classic more than eight decades later. August 25, 1939 was the official release date of the “Wizard of Oz" which was the first movie to depict an authentic looking tornado using improbable “1930’s style” special effects. Through the decades, this all-time classic has inspired movie-watchers and “weather weenies” alike with the scene of a twister lifting Dorothy’s home into the sky over rural Kansas farm land.

High pressure will be in control of the weather across the Mid-Atlantic region for the next couple of days resulting in plenty of sunshine and comfortable conditions for the latter part of August. The weather becomes unsettled on Thursday with the arrival of a warm front and this will increase the chance of showers and thunderstorms. The threat of rain continues on Friday as well as a cold front approaches the area from the northwest. The weekend should begin with more comfortable conditions as high pressure pushes in this direction on the back side of the cool front.

Labor Day is still two weeks away and that puts this outlook in the “speculation” phase; however, there are interesting and somewhat consistent signs of an “omega” blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere over North America which is more typical of winter or spring seasons. An “omega” blocking pattern typically features an upper-level ridge sandwiched in between two upper-level troughs and these systems tend to linger for several days. If indeed this pattern unfolds with an upper-level trough centered over the Northeast US, then any chance for sustained heat for summer’s unofficial end would be quite low in that part of the nation. However, if the ridge sets up over the Northeast US then 90+ degree heat would certainly remain on the table in those urban areas along the I-95 corridor.
