Discussion
Today will be another very pleasant weather day in the Mid-Atlantic region with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels to go along with copious amounts of sunshine. It’ll turn warmer on Friday and the chance of showers and thunderstorms will increase on Friday night and Saturday and some of these storms can be on the strong side. Elsewhere, tropical storm development is likely over the Gulf of Mexico during the next day or so and this system could reach the central Gulf coastal region by early Saturday. After landfall, the remains of the tropical storm are likely to turn to the northeast and interact with an approaching upper-level trough from the northwest. There is a chance this tropical system will actually intensify over land as it becomes intertwined with the advancing upper-level trough and it could bring rain to the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday. After the cold front passes through the area, another very comfortable air mass will push in for the middle on next week.
