Discussion
It’ll turn quite hot today to start the new work week in the Mid-Atlantic region with afternoon high temperatures well up in the 90’s. After a mild and muggy night, temperatures will rebound into the 90’s again on Tuesday and a frontal system will approach the area. This front could set off some strong thunderstorm activity from late tomorrow into tomorrow night. High pressure will slowly build over the Great Lakes later in the week and this should result in some relief around here by week’s end with highs likely holding in the 80’s.
