A couple of cold fronts will usher in a spectacular air mass for this time of year to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US/Great Lakes just in time for the upcoming Father’s Day weekend. There will be some active weather, however, before we get to that point with the threat of showers and strong thunderstorms from late tonight into early tomorrow morning and then again on Thursday evening in association with an initial cold frontal system. In addition, there can be another shower or thunderstorm on Friday as a secondary cold front arrives in the Mid-Atlantic region. Strong high pressure will then take control of the weather for the weekend…a system that had its origins up in northern Canada. Elsewhere, intense heat will continue to affect the region from the south-central states-to-the Midwest-to-the Southeast US over the next several days and some of this hot air will try to make an advance into the Mid-Atlantic region by the middle of next week.

The hottest weather of the season will continue today in the Tennessee Valley and for the next few days as well. Strong high pressure ridging remains in place centered over the central US and has expanded into the southeastern states. The mid 90’s are likely here through Friday as high temperatures, but they won’t be quite as high on Saturday and Sunday. However, the heat will intensify early next week and it could actually turn out to become even hotter than the current hot spell that we are experiencing in the Southeast US.

Today has been an active weather day in the Mid-Atlantic region and there will be more shower and thunderstorm activity later in the week with the arrival of the next cold front. The timing of the next cold front could turn out to be perfect as it likely clears the way for a very nice June weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region with very comfortable temperatures for this time of year. Looking ahead, an intense heat wave is likely to develop during the first half of next week from the nation’s mid-section to the southeastern states and some of this heat may expand to the Mid-Atlantic region by mid-week.

Strong high pressure ridging remains in place centered over the central US and has expanded into the southeastern states. The mid 90’s are likely here as high temperatures during each of the next few days. The chance for showers and thunderstorms will slowly increase as we progress through the week.

The hottest weather of the season will develop in the Tennessee Valley today as strong high pressure ridging forms in the upper part of the atmosphere. In fact, this sprawling high pressure system aloft will dominate the scene from the middle of the country to the east coast and the mid 90’s are likely here as high temperatures each of the next few days. Today is likely to be rain-free, but the chances for a shower or thunderstorm will tend to increase each day through the remainder of the week.

Highs temperatures on Friday are likely to reach 100 degrees in Dallas, Texas and this could begin an impressive string of days at or above the century mark in that particular location. High pressure ridging has been quite strong recently in the region from California-to-Texas and it will intensify over the next few days and then build eastward next week all the way to the Southeast US coastline. It is not unprecedented to see this kind of June heat in Texas or other parts of the southern states and Dallas will have a tough time matching the sustained and extreme heat of the summer of 1980.

A cool front has ushered a drier air mass to the Tennessee Valley, but an additional threat for showers and strong-to-severe thunderstorms will come later Friday and Friday night as the remnants of a “mesoscale convective complex” pass nearby. The weekend looks pretty decent, but it’ll turn quite warm by Sunday afternoon and then the hottest weather so far this season will arrive here early next week as strong ridging aloft expands east to the Tennessee Valley and temperatures climb here well up into the 90’s.

An active weather pattern will continue through the remainder of the week in the Tennessee Valley and it will result in additional chances of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the rain that falls later today and tonight can be heavy at times and some of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels. There may be a bit of a break in the action by later tomorrow following the passage of a cool front, but an additional threat for showers and strong-to-severe thunderstorms will come later Friday and Friday night.

An active weather pattern will continue through the remainder of the week across the Tennessee Valley that will produce multiple chances of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the rain that falls during the next 48 hours can be heavy at times and some of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels. A zonal (i.e., west-to-east) flow of air aloft will allow for the movement of a series of disturbances into the region - each of which can generate some rainfall. There may be a bit of a break in the action by later Thursday following the passage of a cool front, but an additional threat for showers and strong-to-severe thunderstorms will come later Friday and Friday night.

A cool front will slide towards the region today and there can be some shower and thunderstorm activity as a result by later in the across the Tennessee Valley. Following the passage of the front, a west-to-northwest flow will remain a persistent feature for much of the remainder of the week. It looks like we’ll get through the first full week of June without any sustained heat or 90+ degree high temperatures.
