Discussion              

The atmosphere is already quite unsettled this morning in the Mid-Atlantic region as another disturbance pushes through and there can be a shower or thunderstorm at just about any time and some of the rain today can be heavy at times. After a comfortable weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region, temperatures will remain at moderately warm levels today, but then likely soar well up into the 90’s during the second half of the week…indeed, the hottest weather so far this summer in the Wednesday through Friday time period. High pressure will shift off the coast by mid-week opening the door for hotter air to push east from the center of the nation.
