Discussion
A couple of cold fronts will usher in a spectacular air mass for this time of year to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US/Great Lakes just in time for the upcoming Father’s Day weekend. There will be some active weather, however, before we get to that point with showers and strong thunderstorms early today and again this evening associated with an initial cold front. There can be another shower or thunderstorm on Friday associated with the arrival of a secondary cold front. Strong high pressure will then take control of the weather for the weekend…a system that had its origins way up in northern Canada. Elsewhere, intense heat will continue to affect the region from the south-central states-to-the Midwest-to-the Southeast US over the next several days and some of this hot air will try to make an advance into the Mid-Atlantic region by the middle of next week.
