Discussion
The overall weather pattern across the nation over the next few days will feature upper-level ridging centered over the Northern Rockies and an upper-level low over southeastern Canada. As a result, it’ll be hotter-than-normal from the Northern Plains to the Pacific NW, but northwest flow aloft over the Northeast US will prevent any extended period of heat around here. In fact, temperatures should trend downward in the I-95 corridor later this week to pretty comfortable levels for the end of July. Looking ahead, there are signs for pleasant air to push into much of the eastern half of the nation next week as we begin the month of August.
