Discussion
High pressure will push off the east coast by tomorrow and this will result in some dramatic temperatures changes at week’s end. Temperatures will become warmer on Thursday afternoon as low-level southwesterly flow develops and then they’ll soar on Friday to summer-like values in the 80's. With the significant warm up at the end of the work week will come an increased chances of showers and thunderstorms late on Friday and on Friday night.
