Discussion
The combination of a strong upper level low pressure system anchored over the Great Lakes and a nearly stationary extensive surface high pressure system off the east coast will keep a moist flow of air in place along the east coast for the next several days. While much of the time will be rain-free, showers and thunderstorms will remain a daily threat through at least the middle of next week and any shower can contain heavy rainfall and any storm can be strong-to-severe. Elsewhere, while the east coast remains in this very wet weather pattern, many western states will experience a major summertime heat wave. Strong upper level ridging out west will cause temperatures to soar to 100+ degrees in many of the interior locations of the Southwest US over the next few days.
