Discussion
It’ll be another very hot and humid day in the Mid-Atlantic region with high pressure still in control as it sits just off the eastern seaboard. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase later today and tonight and to a high level on Thursday and Friday as a slow-moving frontal system works its way into the area. In fact, there is a good chance that the next few days will include some very heavy rainfall as the front stalls out in the region and temperatures will trend downward. The holiday weekend is looking much cooler-than-normal for early July and quite unsettled in the Mid-Atlantic region with rain still a threat into Sunday. Much like the weather during the Memorial Day weekend, the best weather day of the long weekend is likely to be on Monday (July 5th).
