Discussion

The second half of the work week will feature very warm and humid conditions and it’ll be quite unsettled as well with multiple chances of showers and thunderstorms. High pressure that pushed into the northeastern states over the weekend will shift to the western Atlantic Ocean at mid-week opening the door for some very warm air to move into the Mid-Atlantic region along with noticeably higher humidity levels. Showers and thunderstorms will be a threat each day from Wednesday through Friday, but a Friday night frontal passage should pave the way for a more comfortable and dry weekend.
