Discussion
High pressure over the Northeast US will continue to be the dominant player around here as we head into the weekend and there will be plenty of sunshine and warm conditions for the next couple of days. The heat and humidity will build as we head into the latter stages of the weekend and the early part of next week and so will the chances for showers and thunderstorms. In fact, there could even be a substantial (and much needed) rain event by later Tuesday into Wednesday depending on the progression of a strong cool frontal system as it closes in on the east coast from the Upper Midwest. In addition, there are signs for a deep upper-level trough to form in the eastern US at the end of next week and this could lead to a second significant rain event in the I-95 corridor. An overall cooler weather pattern appears likely for the Mid-Atlantic region later in the month.
