Discussion              

It’ll turn out warmer today compared to Monday with the return of sunshine following the mostly cloudy start to the week.  High pressure will stay in control through tomorrow night and then it pushes offshore on Thursday allowing for a surge in heat and humidity in the northeastern states.  In fact, temperatures could soar well into the 90’s on Thursday afternoon and then a slow-moving front will approach from the northwest on Thursday night and Friday. This late week frontal system is likely to stall out near the coast and result in shower and thunderstorm activity from Friday into Saturday - some of which can be heavy at times.
