The threat of showers and thunderstorms has returned to the Mid-Atlantic and the risk will continue through tomorrow night as a frontal system only painfully slowly works its way through the region. In addition, low pressure will ride along the frontal boundary zone from the central Plains and it can enhance rainfall around here on Saturday. The second half of the weekend and early part of next week should feature dry and quite warm conditions and then a hot spell begins on Tuesday and likely continues through the rest of the week with afternoon highs well up in the 90’s all along the I-95 corridor.

An overall active weather pattern across the nation will continue into the month of July and it is currently resulting in some severe weather across the central Plains and also the risk of flash flooding. In fact, the risks of severe weather and flash flooding will extend well to the east during the next few days and likely reach the Mid-Atlantic region at the start of the upcoming weekend. Low pressure and a painfully slow-moving frontal system will play key roles in the unsettled weather conditions into the weekend. Looking ahead to next week, hot weather will push into the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor by Tuesday and high temperatures well up in the 90’s are likely in the big cities through the end of the work week.

Low pressure has pushed away from the Mid-Atlantic region and the mid-week will feature drier and warmer conditions with high pressure in control of the weather. The late week will feature another frontal system that will generate an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms by Thursday night and a continuing chance on Friday and Saturday. Temperatures will remain at moderately warm levels through the upcoming weekend, but signs point to a warm-up that will likely bring afternoon highs into the 90’s for the middle and latter parts of next week.

Low pressure will impact the Mid-Atlantic region from later today into the overnight hours with two threats on the table...severe weather and flash flooding. This low-pressure system will push eastward into southern Pennsylvania later today and end up over southern New England by late tonight. An upper-level jet streak will add fuel to the fire in the Mid-Atlantic region with strong upward motion that is destabilizing the atmosphere and thunderstorm coverage is increasing across western sections. Localized flash flooding can result from the “training” of thunderstorm cells meaning multiple storms may move over the same general area producing excessive rainfall amounts.

The work week will start off on the wet side as low pressure heads in this direction from the Midwest. There will be occasional showers from this afternoon into Tuesday and multiple thunderstorms can be mixed into the picture. Some of the rain will be heavy and some of the storms can be severe and there is the threat of localized flooding as thunderstorms can develop in a “training” fashion meaning multiple heavy rain cells could move over the same general area. The rest of the week will feature moderately warm temperatures with no sustained high heat and humidity on the table despite it being officially the first week of the summer season.

The passage of a frontal system on Thursday will pave the way for more in the way of fairly comfortable temperatures for at least the next few days. Much of the weekend should turn out to be pretty nice though clouds will be on the increase later Sunday ahead of the next system. Low pressure will head this way from the Central Plains on Monday likely bringing some rain to the Mid-Atlantic region and possibly a thunderstorm or two.

An incoming frontal system will keep it unsettled around here today and occasional showers and maybe a thunderstorm…any storm can be on the strong side. In addition to the threat for rain, today will feature warmer, and more humid conditions, and the winds will become quite noticeable gusting from a southwesterly direction past 30 mph or so. The passage of the frontal system later tonight will open the door for some decent June weather for the Mid-Atlantic region in the Friday and Saturday time frame and then clouds should increase on Sunday ahead of a possible soaking rain event on Monday.

After a couple of very comfortable days in the Mid-Atlantic region, changes will take place here at mid-week with warmer and more humid conditions on the way. The atmosphere will also become more unstable later today as an upper-level low expands into the northeastern states bringing us scattered PM showers and thunderstorms. On Thursday, an incoming frontal system will generate more instability in the atmosphere and there can be another round of PM showers and thunderstorms...some of those late day storms on Thursday can be strong-to-severe. From this vantage point, the passage of the late week frontal system looks like it’ll set us up for a pretty decent weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region.
