Discussion
High pressure will shift to our south and east today and this will open the door for hot air to return to the region on Friday from our southwest. A weakening cold front will approach later tomorrow and it could generate scattered showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region. Excessive heat will take place this weekend in the I-95 corridor as the dissipating frontal system will not be able to provide us with any relief in the heat. The excessive heat will continue right into the early part of next week in what is climatologically-speaking the hottest time of the summer season.
