The heat index is a measure of discomfort as a result of the combined effects of temperature and humidity and it will reach well over 100 degrees during the next few days. In fact, this stretch of very uncomfortable weather should continue right through the weekend in what will turn out to be the longest period of high humidity so far this summer season. A deep plume of tropical moisture is pushing into the Mid-Atlantic region and it will stick around for the next several days. High pressure has pushed off the east coast and the clockwise flow of air around it has turned our low-level winds to a south-to-southwest direction and this is pushing tropical air northward along the eastern seaboard. In addition to the heat and humidity, the overall weather pattern for the next few days will be quite unsettled with scattered showers and thunderstorms and any shower or storm can produce heavy rainfall.

High pressure has shifted off the east coast and this has opened the door for hot and very humid air to flow into the Mid-Atlantic region from the southeastern states. Low-level winds have turned around to primarily a south-to-southwesterly direction and moisture-laden air is now easily riding up along the eastern seaboard. As the humidity levels and temperatures increase, so will our chances for showers and thunderstorms. In fact, this will become a daily threat for the rest of the work week and through the weekend as well and some of the storms can produce heavy rainfall.

High pressure will shift off the east coast today and this will open the door for hotter and more humid air along with a daily shot at showers and thunderstorms for the second half of the week and weekend. Low-levels winds will shift to a south-to-southwest direction later today as the high moves eastward and moisture-laden air will ride northward along the eastern seaboard from the Gulf of Mexico over the next few days. High temperatures from mid-week into the weekend should top out at 90 degrees or slightly above and the humidity will become quite noticeable.

High pressure has built into the region from the Great Lakes and it’ll shift offshore on Tuesday. A warm front will lift northward into our region by mid-week and then another frontal system will slowly drop southward through the Northeast US late in the week bringing hot, unsettled weather for much of the second half of the week.

High pressure will shift off the coast later today and this system will be followed by our next weather-maker...a strong cold front. This next frontal system will likely bring us a new round of showers and thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon/early evening and some of the storms can be on the strong-to-severe side. Nice weather should return on Sunday and continue right into the middle of next week.

High pressure to our northeast will continue to control the weather around here for the next couple of days. As a result, temperatures and humidity levels will stay quite comfortable as we head through the work week. By the early part of the weekend, this high pressure system will slide offshore and it’ll turn warmer and more humid again and there will be a good chance of showers and thunderstorms as a cold front approaches. Nice weather should return for the latter part of the weekend and early part of next week.

High pressure to our northeast will take control of the weather scene around here for the next few days. As a result, temperatures and humidity levels will stay quite comfortable as we head through the work week. By the weekend, this high pressure system will slide offshore and it’ll turn warmer again and there will be a chance of showers and thunderstorms as a cold front approaches.

After the very unsettled weather of recent days, high pressure will build into the region later today and it should help to produce a few decent days around here. By later Thursday, this high pressure system will exist offshore and a “warm front/cold front” duo will bring us another threat of showers and thunderstorms by the weekend.

The frontal boundary zone that contributed to our very wet weekend will slowly shift offshore today, but it will be close enough to allow for the possibility for more showers and thunderstorms and some of the rain can be heavy. High pressure will build into the area for the next few days and the weather will be rather nice for this time of year.

Low pressure now near the Mid-Atlantic coastline produced heavy rainfall and strong thunderstorms in the area yesterday and last night and it will move away today; however, the weather will certainly remain unsettled this weekend. A stalled out frontal boundary zone is acting as a pathway for low pressures and a second system is coming this weekend which is likely to bring more significant rainfall to the region and possible strong thunderstorms. The weather for the early and mid parts of next week is looking quite nice with comfortable temperatures along with plenty of sunshine.
