Discussion
High pressure at all levels of the atmosphere will result in another day with excessive heat in the Mid-Atlantic region, but relief does come at the end of the week. There will be a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms later today, tonight and on Tuesday as a weak front limps through the area. An enhanced chance of showers and thunderstorms is likely for later Wednesday into Thursday as a stronger frontal system approaches the region. This front should have enough push behind it to bring some relief here from the excessive heat for Friday and Saturday following its late week passage.
