High pressure will remain in control of the weather around here for another day before it shifts off the eastern seaboard opening the door for low pressure and its associated cold front to impact the region late tomorrow. It’ll be quite warm again today with plenty of sunshine and overall humidity will become more noticeable on Thursday ahead of this next frontal system. That front may result in some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity here later tomorrow and tomorrow night before clearing the east coast at the end of the work week. Elsewhere, a tropical system now over the northern Gulf of Mexico is very likely to intensify into a named (Barry) tropical storm by the end of the week. This developing system could very well have a direct impact this weekend on the Texas/Louisiana border region as a category 1 or 2 hurricane...we’ll continue to closely monitor the situation.

High pressure will control the weather around here for the next couple of days before shifting off the east coast later in the week. It’ll be quite warm with plenty of sunshine today and tomorrow and then overall humidity will become more noticeable on Thursday ahead of the next frontal system. That front may result in some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity here late Thursday or Thursday night before clearing the coast at the end of the work week. Elsewhere, a tropical system could intensify into a named tropical storm (Barry) over the Gulf of Mexico by later in the week and we’ll closely monitor the situation. Looking ahead, signs point to a heat wave next week in much of the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region.

A weak disturbance will bring more rain to the region this morning, and possibly even a thunderstorm, but building high pressure will result in some late day clearing skies. The high pressure system will shift to the east of here by later Wednesday and a cold front will cross the area later Thursday into Friday and there can be some strong thunderstorm activity associated with the late week frontal system. Elsewhere, low pressure now situated over the Southeast US is likely to drop southward to the Gulf of Mexico and it could very well intensify into a tropical storm later in the week.

A weak frontal system has stalled out nearby and it’ll keep us unsettled for the next few days as it meanders around the Mid-Atlantic region. This front will push north on Friday as a warm front and then a strong cool front will arrive in the region by Saturday night. As a result, showers and thunderstorms will be isolate for today and tonight, but then more numerous on Friday especially on Saturday and severe thunderstorm activity will be a threat late Saturday and Saturday night. Following the frontal passage, it’ll turn less humid on Sunday and slightly cooler and relatively nice weather will begin the new work week on Monday and Tuesday.

High pressure slid off the coast yesterday allowing for warmer and more humid air to push into the Mid-Atlantic region from the Tennessee Valley and it’ll stay quite warm and humid here likely right through the first half of the upcoming weekend. A weak frontal system has stalled out just to our south and it’ll result in more unsettled weather around here; especially, later in the week. While showers and thunderstorms should be relatively isolated today and Thursday, they'll become more numerous on Friday and especially on Saturday. Some of the storms that form late Saturday can be severe as a strong cold front arrives. Following the frontal passage it'll turn slightly cooler and less humid on Sunday and the beginning of the next work week looks quite comfortable in the Mid-Atlantic.

High pressure sat on top of the region yesterday providing us with comfortable weather conditions, but it’ll turn warmer and more humid later today as a weak disturbance and associated cool front approach the region. That frontal system will then stall nearby on Wednesday and then it bounces back to the north as a warm front later in the week. As a result, we’ll have somewhat unsettled weather for the reminder of the week and upcoming weekend with a daily shot at showers and thunderstorms primarily focused in the late day and evening hours. Any thunderstorm that forms in the type of weather pattern can be on the strong side with locally heavy rainfall. A stronger cool front could push through the area later in the weekend perhaps leading to less humid and slightly cooler conditions by early next week.

The week will start off comfortably warm in the Mid-Atlantic region with relatively low humidity levels, but as high pressure pushes off the east coast over the next couple of days, the heat and humidity will build into the area. After highs today in the mid 80's, it looks like we'll climb to near 90 degrees for the remainder of the week. With the uptick in moisture after today, there will also be an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms for the middle and latter parts of the week.

The warmest stretch of weather so far this season will continue for the next couple of days with highs near 90 degrees before it turns cooler and less humid for Sunday and Monday. There can be an isolated shower or thunderstorm late today or early tonight, but an even better chance exists for late tomorrow as a strong cold front arrives. Some of the thunderstorms that form late tomorrow can reach strong-to-severe levels. After a comfortable start to the new week, the heat and humidity will build up again by the middle of next week.
