Discussion
A front pushed into the region on Monday and has stalled-out nearby resulting in a continuation of unstable atmospheric conditions. As such, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will continue today with the highest chance during the afternoon and early evening hours. The front tends to dissipate by tomorrow and this may reduce chances for rain slightly on both Wednesday and Thursday. The unsettled weather pattern will return in full force, however, by the end of the week and for the weekend as well.
One final note, if you thought June was on the cool side of normal in the Mid-Atlantic region, you were correct. The month of June ended up 2.9 degrees below-normal in Philadelphia, 2.2 degrees below-normal in D.C., and 2.0 degrees cooler-than-normal in Central Park (NY). Temperatures reached the 90 degree mark for highs only once during the entire month in both Philadelphia and New York City and only four times in Washington, D.C. The month of May was also cooler-than-normal in all three Mid-Atlantic locations.
