Discussion

High pressure will remain in control over the next few days resulting in plenty of sunshine around here to go along with hot and humid conditions. A cold front approaches the region late Friday and it is likely to stall out in the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend. Its proximity over the weekend could bring us a bit of relief in the temperature department. Temperatures are likely to reach into the low-to-middle 90’s during the next few days and then perhaps be confined to the lower 80’s this weekend. On the tropical scene, there are signs for a possible hurricane in the Texas/Louisiana coastal region by Monday or so...something to closely monitor next few days.
