Discussion
Today may be a bit less oppressive than recent days with the passage of a weak frontal system, but is stays rather hot and humid in the area. This weak frontal system has stalled out across Virginia and it could become the focus region for some shower and thunderstorm activity later today, tonight and again on Wednesday. A stronger front will approach the area on Thursday and this too will result in the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Any storm that forms over the next few days can be on the strong-to-severe side given all the available moisture in the atmosphere and the high levels of potential energy. Following the passage of the late week frontal system, we'll experience some relief on Friday and Saturday, but it is likely to get rather hot again by the early part of next week.
