Discussion
High pressure situated off the east coast in the familiar “Bermuda High” position will continue to produce very humid weather in the Mid-Atlantic region and the heat will become quite noticeable today with high temperatures at or slightly above the 90 degree mark. The threat for scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue today as a weak frontal boundary grudgingly approaches from the Upper Midwest. The heat will continue on Friday as we close out the work week, but the chances for showers and thunderstorms will diminish somewhat tomorrow. That frontal system will dissipate by the weekend providing us with little relief in temperatures and humidity; consequently, very warm and muggy conditions are likely to continue on Saturday, Sunday and Monday along with isolated showers and thunderstorms. Looking longer-term, the unfolding hotter-than-normal weather pattern in the Mid-Atlantic region looks like it'll continue for much of the time from mid-July into the autumn season and the Atlantic Basin will soon see increasingly active tropical weather.
