Discussion
An extended stretch of hot and humid weather is setting up for the Mid-Atlantic region for the period from Tuesday through Friday. High temperatures will climb to the mid 90's during the second half of the week and there will be an increasing chance of 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 with the formation of a couple of systems that will have to be monitored as we head towards the middle of the month.
