Discussion              

The weather will turn warmer and more humid later today following the passage of a warm front and the warm-up will intensify on Friday and Saturday.  In fact, temperatures on Friday are likely to climb towards the 90 degree mark with the chance of PM showers and thunderstorms and then surge into the middle 90’s on Saturday afternoon.  A cold front will push towards the eastern seaboard by late Sunday and this is likely to result in late day/nighttime showers and thunderstorms that can hang around into the early part of next week.
