Discussion
A summer-like week is in store for the metro region with hot, humid conditions and multiple chances for showers and thunderstorms. In fact, there is a good chance of showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon and evening as a weak front arrives and some of the late day/evening storms can be on the strong-to-severe side with torrential downpours. Temperatures today are likely to climb into the low-to-mid 90's for highs and it'll stay hot and uncomfortable for much of the week. Later this week, a storm will pull out of the Deep South and potentially ride up along the eastern seaboard. If so, this system would enhance chances for heavy rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday night and Friday.
