Discussion
The weather for the next few days in the Northeast US will be controlled by strong high pressure over the western Atlantic Ocean - in the familiar “Bermuda-high” position. As a result, the low-level flow of air will be southwesterly on the backside of the high and this will bring hot and humid air into the Mid-Atlantic region. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase by mid-week and we’ll have to watch the possibility of some heavy rainfall as we transfer to cooler conditions for the late week and weekend.
