Discussion              

Temperatures will actually stay below-normal today in most spots of the Mid-Atlantic region with highs, for example, confined to the lower 80’s in the Philly metro area where normal highs at PHL are about 88 degrees.  Given the general west-to-east air flow in the upper part of the atmosphere, the front that came through last night will have difficulty pushing too far to the south and east over the next 24 hours or so and is likely to stall out in the southern Mid-Atlantic region. As such, it’ll stay unsettled around here for the remainder of the work week with additional chances for showers and thunderstorms to go along with overall rather seasonal temperatures.  Another cool front will head this way late in the week and all signs point to this next one having enough “push” behind it to bring another comfortable air mass this way for the upcoming weekend.
