Discussion
Abnormally strong upper-level ridging continues to dominate the scene in the Northeast US and Great Lakes as we begin the new work week and the resultant hot weather around here will continue through the week. The center of this high-level ridging will retrograde westward over the next few days and become centered over the interior western US by the end of the week. As a result of that change in positioning, the flow of air in the upper atmosphere around here will become northwesterly by the end of the week and this will likely allow for a cool frontal passage as we head into the weekend. This end-of-week cool frontal passage should break the back of what is likely to end up being the worst stretch of heat and humidity in the Northeast US all summer long.
