Discussion
High pressure will control the weather around here for the next couple of days before shifting off the east coast later in the week. It’ll be quite warm with plenty of sunshine today and tomorrow and then overall humidity will become more noticeable on Thursday ahead of the next frontal system. That front may result in some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity here late Thursday or Thursday night before clearing the coast at the end of the work week. Elsewhere, a tropical system could intensify into a named tropical storm (Barry) over the Gulf of Mexico by later in the week and we’ll closely monitor the situation. Looking ahead, signs point to a heat wave next week in much of the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region.
