Discussion
Temperatures should climb to or slightly above the 90 degree mark later today and it looks like the heat and humidity will last right through the upcoming weekend. In fact, the heat is likely to peak this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region with highs here on Sunday afternoon potentially in the mid or upper 90’s. The nights will not offer much in the way of relief through this stretch as temperatures may only drop to the mid and upper 70’s in parts of the metro region. A weak frontal system will enhance chances slightly for showers and thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon and then another front could renew the threat of rain late Sunday and/or Monday. Looking ahead, relief is likely to reach us early next week following the passage of a cool frontal system.
