After a cool start to the week, it’ll turn much warmer for today and Thursday in the Mid-Atlantic region and humidity will be a noticeable factor as well. The warm-up comes ahead of a strong frontal system which can produce scattered strong-to-severe thunderstorms around here later today and then more numerous strong-to-severe thunderstorms are likely later tomorrow.
After a sunny and warm day to end the work week, very strong high pressure ridging in the upper part of the atmosphere will push eastward this weekend. This system will end up directly overhead in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US by the early part of next week and likely stay put until at least the middle of next week. As a result, high heat and humidity is on the way for the northeastern states in the period from later this weekend into the middle of next week and 100-degrees is on the table.

There is a lot going on in the world of weather across the nation with severe weather threats each of the next few days and scorching heat is on the horizon for the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast US. In the near-term, severe weather will be a major concern today in the nation’s mid-section (Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska) and then that threat zone will shift eastward on Wednesday to the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and then to the eastern states on Thursday.
In terms of temperatures, there has been unusually cool weather across the northeastern part of the nation during the past few days and it continues today…this will be just a fond memory in a week’s time as sweltering heat is on the way. Actually, temperatures will surge to much warmer levels on Wednesday and Thursday, but the intense and more sustained heat is coming for the period from later this weekend into at least the middle of next week and 100-degree highs are possible all along the DC-to-Boston corridor.

After a cool start to the week, it’ll turn slightly warmer today and then uncomfortably warm and humid for Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the 90’s on the table by Thursday afternoon. The warm-up at mid-week comes ahead of a strong cold front and both Wednesday and Thursday can feature strong-to-severe thunderstorms during the PM hours.
After backing off a tad on Friday, temperatures will surge around here from later this weekend through the middle of next week with a run to 100 degrees possible in the big cities all along the DC-to-Boston corridor. Very strong upper-level ridging which has been largely confined to the western states in recent days will push to a position centered over the eastern states by early next week and temperatures will respond in a dramatic fashion.

Father’s Day turned out to be very cool across the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US with some spots nearly 20 degrees below normal for the middle of June and today will be much the same. Temperatures will rebound dramatically by the middle of this week with highs in the 90’s on the table by Thursday afternoon along the DC-to-Boston corridor. The warm-up at mid-week comes ahead of a strong cold front which can produce strong-to-severe thunderstorms by later Thursday or Thursday night.
After backing off slightly for the end of the week and beginning of the weekend, temperatures are likely to surge in the DC-to-Boston corridor during the early and middle parts of next week with a run to 100 degrees possible in the big cities along Route I-95. Very strong upper-level ridging which has been largely confined to the western states in recent days will push to a position centered over the eastern states early next week and temperatures will respond in a dramatic fashion.

A stationary frontal system will keep it unsettled around here for another couple of days with a daily chance of showers though most of the time will be rain-free. The front finally pulls north as a warm front by mid-week and temperatures will respond by climbing well up into the 80’s on Wednesday. Another cold front heads this way on Thursday and it can produce some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity late in the day and on Thursday night. Looking ahead, a surge of heat is possible for the DC-to-Boston corridor early next week that could result in a run to 100 degrees in the big cities along Roue I-95.

A cold front has dropped southward into the Mid-Atlantic region from southeastern Canada and it will stall out in close proximity later in the day. Several waves of low pressure are likely to ride along this nearly stationary frontal boundary zone during the next several days generating a stretch of unsettled weather around here from today all the way into the middle of next week. While there should be plenty of rain-free time during this extended time period, showers will be possible on each day from today through next Wednesday, thunderstorms can mix into the picture, and some of the rain will likely be heavy at times.

A cold front heads this way from north of here by later tonight and then it stalls in rather close proximity by later tomorrow. Several waves of low pressure are likely to ride along the nearly stationary frontal boundary zone generating a stretch of unsettled weather around here all the way from later tomorrow into the middle of next week. While there should be plenty of rain-free time during this extended time period, showers will be possible on each day from tomorrow through Wednesday, thunderstorms can mix into the picture, and some of the rain will likely be heavy at times.

A cold front moved through the region on Tuesday and set the stage for clearing skies last night and plenty of sunshine here today. However, there is one “fly-in-the-ointment” with respect to the sunshine expected today, it will be dimmed by smoke and haze at times due to the post-frontal shift in the winds which are now blowing air into the Mid-Atlantic region from Canada. Another cold front heads this way at the end of the week and will likely stall-out in close proximity. As a result, several waves of low pressure could ride along the nearly stationary frontal boundary zone generating unsettled weather conditions here from late Friday through Monday with the chance of showers on each day.

A cold front moves across the region today and with it some more shower activity and perhaps a strong thunderstorm. Skies will clear tonight and Wednesday should feature plenty of sunshine as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic. Another cold front heads this way at the end of the week and this system could lead to an unsettled Father’s Day weekend with the chance of showers on both days.

Unsettled weather will continue through much of tomorrow across the Mid-Atlantic region and then high pressure takes control for the mid and late week time periods. Low pressure passes nearby today and then a cold front slides across the region on Tuesday. There will be scattered showers today…perhaps a thunderstorm or two and then another round of showers and thunderstorms is likely later tonight into Tuesday…some of that rain can be heavy at times. Temperatures during the next couple of days will be limited due to copious amounts of clouds and then full sunshine returns for the mid and late week with the high pressure building back into the area. Looking ahead, from this vantage point the Father’s Day weekend is looking cooler and quite unsettled with the chance of showers and thunderstorms on both days.
