Discussion
It’ll turn breezy and noticeably warmer today as high pressure shifts off the coast and our low-level winds become southwesterly. It’ll be hot and humid on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and there can be some shower and thunderstorm activity with the best chance coming late Saturday/Saturday night. One final note, NASA succeeded early this morning in the launch of a sounding rocket at the Wallops Island, Virginia facility after several prior postponements due to clouds, etc.
