Discussion
A significant cool frontal passage will pass through the region today and break the back of our early July heat wave in the Mid-Atlantic region. In fact, high temperatures this afternoon will be reduced from recent days in the I-95 corridor, but the change in humidity won’t become noticeable until this evening. As the front slides through the region later today, there will be additional showers and possible thunderstorms and some of the rain can be heavy at times. High pressure from the Northern Plains will cross over the Great Lakes over the next 24 hours or so and then produce a very comfortable weekend in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.
