Discussion
High pressure will shift off the east coast as we close out the week and this will promote a low-level southwesterly flow of air in the I-95 corridor. As a result, temperatures and humidity levels will climb over the next couple of days and we’ll flirt with the 90 degree mark for highs each day this weekend and also during the early part of next week. As far as rainfall is concerned, while a shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out each of the next several days, the vast majority of the time should be rain-free.
