Discussion

Comfortable temperatures for early August will remain in the region for the next couple of days after a nice start to the new month, but the weekend will become quite warm. Moisture is abundant along the Gulf coastal region and some of it will try to push northward later in the week likely reaching as far north as the southern part of the Delmarva Peninsula. Elsewhere, the tropical scene has been quiet in the Atlantic Basin for several weeks now, but there are strong signals that activity will ramp up in coming days.
