Discussion
High pressure pushes offshore today and this re-positioning will allow hotter and more humid air to flow northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic region for the Independence Day holiday. The atmosphere becomes more unstable as well with the arrival of a surface trough of low pressure raising the chance for afternoon or evening showers and thunderstorms. Any thunderstorm that forms later today or tonight can be strong and produce locally heavy rainfall. Hot and sticky weather will continue on Friday and Saturday as will the threat of showers and thunderstorms; however, much of the time will be rain-free.
