Discussion
An extended stretch of hot and humid weather is setting up for the Mid-Atlantic region for the period from today through Friday. High temperatures will climb to 90 degrees this afternoon and perhaps reach the middle 90’s on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and there will be a daily shot at afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. A cold front should arrive at week’s end and provide some relief as we head into the upcoming weekend. Elsewhere, the tropical Atlantic has become active once again and a system now over the eastern Caribbean Sea is very likely to become a named storm ("Fred"). It could have an impact on southern Florida by the early part of the weekend and then spill out over the eastern Gulf of Mexico…stay tuned.
