Discussion
This will be quite an unsettled week in much of the eastern half of the nation which will include a daily shot of showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region. Any storm that forms later today and tonight can be on the strong side with heavy rainfall. There will be a couple of frontal systems to deal with over the next few days, but the main player will be high pressure off the east coast which will continuously pump in very warm and humid air to the region. Temperatures will likely climb into the 90’s each day this week for afternoon highs and high dew points will make for quite uncomfortable conditions.
