Discussion

The cool front that passed through the region on Sunday has turned around and returned as a warm front and its passage from south-to-north will usher in a noticeable change to very warm and humid conditions from this afternoon right into Thursday. Temperatures this afternoon will jump towards the 90 degree mark and could slightly surpass that tomorrow afternoon to go along with uncomfortable humidity levels. There is the slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm later tomorrow and tomorrow night, but an even better shot comes Thursday with the next strong cool frontal system and some of Thursday’s storms can be on the strong side. Following the passage of the next cool front, the coolest air so far this season will push into the Mid-Atlantic region for Friday and Saturday. In fact, highs on Saturday should struggle to reach 70 degrees around here (current normal high at Reagan National Airport is 82 degrees).
