Discussion
A cool frontal system passed through the region last night and the result should be a rain-free day; however, it stays rather hot with afternoon highs climbing into the lower 90’s. That same front stalls out just south of here today and low pressure will ride along the frontal boundary zone on Thursday into Friday leading to more unsettled weather conditions. In addition, it should turn cooler on Friday with highs likely confined to the middle 80’s as we close out the work week. Elsewhere, a tropical system continues on a track that should take it towards the northern Caribbean island chain and then perhaps to the southern part of Florida by the latter part of the weekend. This system could ultimately have an impact on the rest of the eastern US during the early part of next week.
