Discussion

Low pressure will pass by to our north today and there can be showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region at just about anytime from late morning on through the afternoon. An upper-level ridge of high pressure takes control of the weather for the remainder of the week and this should result in hotter conditions on Thursday and Friday and continued quite humid. After temperatures peak later today near the 90 degree mark, they’ll likely climb into the low-to-mid 90’s for highs on both Thursday and Friday. The overall pattern remains unsettled as well on Thursday and Friday with a chance of PM showers and thunderstorms and warm, humid and unsettled conditions are likely this weekend.
