Discussion
Hot weather has returned to the Mid-Atlantic region and it’ll last through mid-week with afternoon highs each of the next few days way up in the 90’s. In fact, 100 degree highs are on the table in a few spots on Tuesday afternoon. The 3-day heat wave will not necessarily be rain-free as there is the chance of showers and thunderstorms on an daily basis and any thunderstorm can produce some heavy rainfall. A cold front pushes across the region late Wednesday and its passage will usher in a cooler air mass for Thursday and Friday.
