Discussion
A Bermuda high pressure system will continue to pump hot and humid air into the Mid-Atlantic region through much of the weekend. Temperatures will approach or slightly surpass 90 degrees each of the next two days along with plenty of sunshine and summer-like humidity values. A cold front will close in on the east coast late in the weekend and this will increase our chances for showers and thunderstorms from late Sunday into Monday. Full clearing should take place by Tuesday and temperatures will be rather pleasant into mid-week. Looking ahead, next week begins the "official" hurricane season for the Atlantic Basin and there are signs for potential tropical troubles in the Gulf of Mexico region in about one week from now.
