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 this afternoon and also 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.
