Discussion
Our first extended stretch of very warm and humid weather will continue for the next few days with high temperatures close to 90 degrees on a daily basis. The main weather maker is a strong high pressure system over the western Atlantic Ocean which is pumping in the very warm and humid air mass from the southeastern states into the Mid-Atlantic region. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will exist through this very warm period given the high levels of low-level moisture with the highest chance for rain coming during the PM hours. It turns somewhat cooler later in the week following the passage of a cold front.
