Discussion
Strong high pressure has shifted to a position off the east coast and the result will be an influx of summer-like air in the Mid-Atlantic region and temperatures climbing well up into the 80’s during the next few days. While there will be some sunshine in the near-term, it will be dimmed at times from haze being caused by Canadian wildfires up north and this will make for redder-than-normal sunrises and sunsets as well. The weather turns more unsettled for the late week and early part of the weekend with an approaching frontal system and an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms.
