An upper-level ridge builds into the Mid-Atlantic region for the next couple of days and this will lead to hotter conditions with afternoon highs well up in the 90’s in most spots along the I-95 corridor. A few shortwaves will keep it unsettled around here right through the upcoming weekend with rounds of showers and thunderstorms; primarily, focused on the afternoon and evening hours. Any thunderstorm that forms during the next few days can produce heavy rainfall amounts given the high amounts of available moisture and the likely slow-moving nature of the storm cells. Elsewhere, the tropical scene is alive and well in the Atlantic Basin as we flip the calendar to August and there could be an intensifying tropical system to deal with over the eastern Gulf of Mexico by early next week.

Low pressure will pass by to our north today and there can be showers at just about anytime and possible PM thunderstorms. An upper-level ridge of high pressure takes control of the weather for the remainder of the week and this should result in hotter conditions on Thursday and Friday. After temperatures peak later today near 90 degrees, they’ll likely climb into the low-to-mid 90’s for highs on both Thursday and Friday. The overall pattern also remains unsettled on Thursday and Friday with a good chance of PM showers and thunderstorms warm, humid and unsettled weather is likely this weekend.

The main weather story continues to be the high heat across the region and wildfire smoke and haze are on-going factors as well.

Low pressure will pass by to our north today and there can be showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region at just about anytime from late morning on through the afternoon. An upper-level ridge of high pressure takes control of the weather for the remainder of the week and this should result in hotter conditions on Thursday and Friday and continued quite humid. After temperatures peak later today near the 90 degree mark, they’ll likely climb into the low-to-mid 90’s for highs on both Thursday and Friday. The overall pattern remains unsettled as well on Thursday and Friday with a chance of PM showers and thunderstorms and warm, humid and unsettled conditions are likely this weekend.

Low pressure will pass by to our north today and there can be isolated showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, but much of today will be rain-free. An upper-level ridge of high pressure is building into the region and this will result in hotter weather conditions beginning today and continuing through Friday with afternoon highs likely well up in the 90’s on each day. The overall pattern remains unsettled as well on Thursday and Friday with a chance of PM showers and thunderstorms and warm, humid and unsettled conditions are likely this weekend.

The summer is more than half over up in the Arctic region and overall temperatures this season are repeating a pattern that began many years ago in that they are running at nearly normal levels which happens to be quite close to the freezing mark. The cold season in the Arctic has featured above-normal temperatures in the Arctic region in a pattern that has also been very consistent in recent years. It is the temperatures in the summer months of June, July, and August, however, which are the most important when it comes to Arctic sea ice extent as this is the melting season up in that part of the world. As long as temperatures remain nearly normal during the summer (melting) season, the chance for any additional significant drop off in sea ice will be limited. Indeed, given this consistent summertime temperature trend in recent years, Arctic sea ice has shown resiliency both in terms extent and in volume. One possible explanation of this persistent temperature pattern across the Arctic region with nearly normal summertime conditions and warmer-than-normal in the other nine months of the year (i.e., the cold season) is increased levels of water vapor in the atmosphere.

The main weather story during the next several days will be the high heat across Colorado with temperatures likely peaking in the upper 90’s on a few afternoons. In fact, a few spots can touch the 100 degree mark and record highs may be set in some spots each of the next two afternoons.

A couple of shortwaves will rotate through the region later today and tonight raising the chance of PM showers and thunderstorms…some of the storms can be strong and produce heavy rainfall amounts. There should be plenty of cloud cover around as well today which should limit high temperatures this afternoon to the low-to-mid 80’s in the Philly metro region. It remains somewhat unsettled on Wednesday with another shower and thunderstorm possible and then upper-level high pressure ridging to our southwest takes control for the latter part of the week. As such, it’ll turn hotter for Thursday and Friday with afternoon high temperatures likely well up in the 90’s and there can be scattered showers and thunderstorms.
