Discussion
It’ll be another day featuring high heat and humidity in the Mid-Atlantic region with weak high pressure in control of the weather. Temperatures later today should peak in the middle 90’s and humidity levels will be very uncomfortable with dew points in the 70’s. While there can be an afternoon or evening shower and thunderstorm, a much better chance for rain comes in the Wednesday-to-Saturday time period and some of the mid and late week rain can be heavy at times. The combination of the tropical moisture associated with Beryl’s remains and a stalling out frontal system near the coast will enhance chances here for some heavy rainfall beginning later tomorrow and likely continuing right into the upcoming weekend. The remnants of Beryl are currently centered over southwestern Arkansas and they’ll move northeast rapidly reaching the Ohio Valley by later tomorrow and this positioning will add to the instability along the eastern seaboard at mid-week.
