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 and the DC metro region should reach 90+ degrees over the next few days. Temperatures will trend downward as we head into the weekend and there are signs for some pleasant air next week as we begin the month of August.
