Discussion
A weak cool front will dissipate in the Mid-Atlantic region today, but it will likely provide enough instability in the atmosphere to set off shower and thunderstorm activity as we progress through the day and some of the rain can be heavy. The threat for showers and thunderstorms will continue this evening, but then high pressure will build back into the region for Tuesday and Wednesday and it’ll turn hot. A cool front will then approach the area on Thursday and it is likely to set off more shower and thunderstorm activity which will all be followed by lower humidity conditions on Friday. Looking ahead, while this week will feature hot weather on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, cooler-than-normal weather is likely in the Mid-Atlantic region next week.
