Discussion
A frontal system that limped through the area last night will now stall along the east coast and this will result in a continuing chance of showers and thunderstorms through tonight. In addition, high pressure over the Northeast US in recent days has pushed off the east coast and this will open the door for hot and humid air to move into the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US. In fact, the hottest stretch of weather so far this season is coming to the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC-to-Boston corridor with highs well up in the 90’s by later in the weekend and also during the early part of next week. It’ll be humid as well during the hot stretch with the daily chance of showers and thunderstorms.
