Discussion
The next few days will be quite unsettled in the Mid-Atlantic region as the heat and humidity build to rather uncomfortable levels. Showers are likely today and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed in and the threat of showers and thunderstorms will continue on Thursday and Friday as well. Some of the rain that falls through Friday night can be heavy at times and some of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels. A frontal system should cross the area on Friday night and its passage will lead to more comfortable conditions this weekend (i.e., lower humidity) and generally dry weather for both days.
