A cool, damp start to the work week and to the new month with below-normal temperatures for the 1st of August. A warm front pushes north through the region on Tuesday and then a weak cool front follows on Tuesday night. The second half of the week will turn hotter and more humid on the back side of high pressure pushing off the coast to our east.
Read MoreA cool front will move slowly across the area later today into tonight and with it will come another chance for showers and thunderstorms. Downpours early last night brought a lot of rainfall to many areas in a short period of time. The front should clear the coast by early tomorrow and a comfortable air mass will push into the Mid-Atlantic region for the weekend. Temperatures will be confined to the 80’s today and right into the early part of next week. Hot weather will develop in the central states by the middle of next week and a surge of heat and humidity can return here later next week.
Read MoreA cool front will approach the region later today and then move slowly across the area during the next 24-36 hours. As such, it’ll stay unsettled around here with the chance of showers and thunderstorms later today, tonight and on Friday though much of the time will be rain-free. The cool front will push far enough to the south and east by the weekend to allow for the arrival of a comfortable air mass into the Mid-Atlantic region. After a flirtation with the 90 degree mark later today, temperatures should generally be confined to the 80’s for afternoon highs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and even into the early part of next week.
Read MoreA meandering frontal system and a couple of upper-level disturbances will keep us unsettled over the next couple of days with a shot at some shower and thunderstorm activity later tonight and on Thursday. Another chance of showers and thunderstorms will come on Thursday night and Friday with the next cool front and it looks like that system will clear through here by early Saturday. As such, a comfortable air mass should push into the Mid-Atlantic region for both Saturday and Sunday with high temperatures confined to the 80’s on both days.
Read MoreThere have been many frontal passages in recent weeks across the Mid-Atlantic region that have produced showers and thunderstorms and, in some cases, severe weather. While these showers and thunderstorms have often been quite “numerous” to the south of the PA/MD border, they have usually been “isolated-to-scattered” across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York City. These “hit or miss” variety showers and thunderstorms are frustrating many residents to the north of the PA/MD border with lawns now beginning to turn brown in many areas. There will be additional chances of showers and thunderstorms in coming days, but still no guarantees; especially, to those north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Read MoreTemperatures will actually stay below-normal today in most spots of the Mid-Atlantic region with highs, for example, confined to the lower 80’s in the Philly metro area where normal highs at PHL are about 88 degrees. Given the general west-to-east air flow in the upper part of the atmosphere, the front that came through last night will have difficulty pushing too far to the south and east over the next 24 hours or so and is likely to stall out in the southern Mid-Atlantic region. As such, it’ll stay unsettled around here for the remainder of the work week with additional chances for showers and thunderstorms to go along with overall rather seasonal temperatures. Another cool front will head this way late in the week and all signs point to this next one having enough “push” behind it to bring another comfortable air mass this way for the upcoming weekend.
Read MoreThe first extended heat wave of the summer in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US will break today with the arrival of a frontal system that is currently producing showers and embedded thunderstorms in upstate Pennsylvania. The chance of showers will increase in the I-95 corridor by the early-to-mid afternoon and while not every location will get hit, a strong-to-severe thunderstorm is possible right into the late evening hours. Much more comfortable conditions will take place on Tuesday with below-normal temperatures and another cooler-than-normal air mass is destined to come this way for the upcoming weekend. The past weekend featured some excessive heat in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor with a run to the 100 degree mark on both days.
Read MoreThe first extended heat wave of the summer in the Mid-Atlantic region will break today with the arrival of a frontal system that will generate showers and perhaps a strong-to-severe thunderstorm or two. It’ll remain pretty hot today though not as excessive as the past weekend and it’ll continue to be very humid and quite breezy. Much more comfortable air will arrive in the region by tomorrow with temperatures likely confined to the lower 80’s for highs on Tuesday afternoon…actually below-normal for this time of year. The front stalls out nearby on Tuesday and its proximity for the remainder of the week will keep it quite unsettled here to go along with seasonal temperatures. One final note, the high temperatures for Saturday and Sunday in the I-95 corridor were as follows: Philly: 98/99 degrees, DCA: 96/94 degrees, Central Park (NYC): 95/95 degrees and LaGuardia Apt. (NYC): 97/98 degrees.
Read MoreIt’ll remain hot today in the Mid-Atlantic region, but overall humidity levels should be somewhat reduced compared to yesterday’s high values following the passage of a weak cool front (more like a “dew point” front and not a “temperature” front). The weekend will feature high heat and humidity with temperatures climbing well into the 90’s on both days and a surge to near 100 degrees is not out of the question in some spots. The next cool frontal system should bring some shower and thunderstorm activity to the region on Monday and its ultimate passage will bring us relief in the temperature department for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Read MoreThe Mid-Atlantic region has enjoyed a relatively normal summer so far with respect to overall temperatures featuring close-to-normal readings in the month of June and also for the first few weeks of July. We are now, however, in an extended stretch of hot and humid weather that will last right through the upcoming weekend and it looks like the heat will peak this weekend. In fact, high temperatures on Sunday afternoon could flirt with the 100 degree mark in some spots ahead of a cool front that should bring some relief by Tuesday and Wednesday.
