Discussion
Upper-level ridging will expand and intensify over the Mid-Atlantic region during the next few days and temperatures will respond here by climbing to 90 degrees this afternoon and likely to repeat this on a daily basis well into next week. The heat will be accompanied by uncomfortably high humidity levels and there is little chance of relief from rainfall which will likely by quite scattered. This high heat and humidity will continue into at least the middle part of next week. One final note, whenever abnormally strong high pressure ridging sets up in a position over the Northeast US this time of year - as it will do this weekend and early next week - one has to monitor the tropical region near the Bahamas, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. With strong high pressure situated to the north, there tends to be low-level convergence in this particular part of the Atlantic Basin tropical region and the flow of air would likely push westward any tropical system that may actually form.
