Discussion              

Strong high pressure will be in control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region for the next few days and it will stay hot and humid with highs well up in the 90’s. These temperatures are well above-normal for the early part of September and will challenge records in many areas through the day on Thursday. A frontal system will approach later in the week and this will increase the chance of showers and thunderstorms and the front then stalls nearby likely resulting in an unsettled weather pattern for the weekend.
