Discussion
It’ll remain hot for one more day in the Mid-Atlantic region, but this current heat wave will come to an end in the overnight hours with the passage of a cold frontal system. The approaching front will produce showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours and some of the storms can become severe with heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts and hail on the table. The passage of the cold front will usher in a cooler air mass for tomorrow and Friday with high temperatures confined to the 80’s.
