Discussion
It’ll remain warm and very humid today and somewhat unsettled with isolated showers and thunderstorms likely during the afternoon and evening hours (shouldn’t be as widespread as yesterday). The strong cold front that pushed into the region late yesterday is stalling out and it’ll turn back to the north on Wednesday likely leading to an enhanced chance of showers and thunderstorms at mid-week. Following the passage of the warm front, Thursday could turn out to be the hottest day of the week with highs at or slightly above the 90 degree mark and a continuing chance for showers and thunderstorms. The next cold front arrives later Friday - potentially with another round of showers and thunderstorms - and, if we’re lucky, it may just clear the coast and result in a decent start to the weekend with lower humidity.
One final note, as a follow-up to yesterday’s “Home Run Derby” posting, the longest HR hit last night in a hot and humid Atlanta was 513 feet by Oneil Cruz of the Pirates (4th longest in Derby history) and the winner was Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners. Next years All-Star game and HR Derby will be played in beautiful Citizens Park of South Philadelphia as part of the 250th birthday celebration for the country.
