Discussion
Powerful storms hit the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US late yesterday and last night and this has cleansed the atmosphere of the high heat and humidity of recent days. A cold front was the main culprit of the instability and this system has pushed to a position just off the east coast; however, we’re not done with it yet. The cold front stalls out today along the coastline and tropical moisture will ride northward along the boundary zone on Friday increasing our chances once again for showers and thunderstorms. Some of the rain on Friday and Friday night can be heavy at times. The threat of showers and storms will continue on Saturday, but then decrease for the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday time period. The high heat of recent days will return in full force by early next week with afternoon high temperatures on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday likely to be well up in the 90’s.
