Discussion
Today is likely to turn out to be the worst day in this brief stretch of high heat and humidity with afternoon highs well up in the 90’s and dew points at 70+ degrees. It remains hot going into the weekend, but big changes are on the way. A cool front will approach the region later tomorrow likely accompanied by showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms this evening and on Saturday can be strong-to-severe and some of the rain can be heavy. Following the passage of the front on Saturday night, big-time relief will push into the Mid-Atlantic region for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures on those days will be below-normal for late July and humidity will be noticeably lower than on Thursday or today.
