High pressure builds into the region today and the new work week will start off on a nice note with plenty of sunshine and moderately warm conditions. The next cold front approaches later tomorrow and it can bring us multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms...some of the storms can be strong-to-severe and some of the rain can be heavy. There can be lingering showers into mid-week, but a refreshing air mass is to follow into the Mid-Atlantic region for much of the second half of the week.

Following the passage of a weak cold front and combined with some more wildfire smoke in the area which can dim the skies at times, temperatures today will get knocked down a bit from recent days. The wildfire smoke had its origins in southern Canada and the low-level wind flow has pushed it into the Mid-Atlantic region. An active weather day is setting up for Saturday as a frontal system and an impressive wave in the upper atmosphere will likely produce numerous showers and thunderstorms during the first half of the weekend. Some of the storms on Saturday can be strong-to-severe and some of the rainfall can be heavy. The front should clear the area on Sunday with improving weather conditions likely going into the early part of next week.

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 damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, 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.
