High pressure to our north will remain in control of the weather as we end the work week and then slide off the east coast on Saturday. This repositioning of the high will open the door for seasonably warm air to push northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic region; however, overall humidity levels should remain moderate. The threat of rain will remain minimal around here during the next couple of days, but an upper-level low could increase the chances during the early part of next week.

Solar cycle 25 began in late 2019 and is expected to continue through much of this decade with its maximum phase potentially being reached during the first half of 2025. This month of August has been very active in terms of the number of sunspots and it is quite likely to turn out to be the most active since solar cycle 23 peaked in September of 2001. Solar cycle 25 has exceeded most expectations in terms of the number of sunspots and is on pace to be of similar strength as solar cycle 23. The previous solar cycle, #24, was the weakest in more than a hundred years since solar cycle 14 peaked in January 1907.

Unsettled weather will grip the region for another day with a good chance later today of additional showers and thunderstorms and some of the rain can be heavy at times. Temperatures will be rather comfortable for the next few days compared to earlier in the week with afternoon highs generally in the 80’s.

Low-level flow from the southeast will bring in more humid air later today and this will increase the chances for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms after what has been a dry stretch of weather. Temperatures will remain in the comfortable 80’s for highs, but building high pressure ridging going into the weekend will lead to hotter weather across northern Alabama. In fact, afternoon highs should reach 90 degrees by early this weekend and then the middle 90’s are likely early next week.

High pressure to our north will remain in control of the weather for the next couple of days and continue to anchor a very comfortable air mass for this time of year. The high pressure system shifts offshore by early this weekend and this repositioning will open the door for warmer air to move into the area from the southern states, but no sustained extreme heat is in sight. The chances for rain should be minimal around here for the next few days.
One final note, this cool shot we’re enjoying has been pretty impressive for August. The low temperature at Newark, NJ on Wednesday was 58 degrees. The last time the temperatures fell into the 50’s during the month of August in Newark was in 2008.

One final note, this cool shot we’re enjoying has been pretty impressive for August. The low temperature on Wednesday at Dulles Airport (IAD) was 50 degrees…the lowest temperature there for the entire month of August since 1998.

One final note, this cool shot we’re enjoying has been pretty impressive for August. The high temperature on Tuesday in Philly was only 73 degrees which was the “coolest max” for the date in all non-precipitation days since 1926.

A comfortable air mass that pushed into our area earlier this week will stay in place for another couple of days resulting in afternoon highs generally in the mid-to-upper 80’s. High pressure will shift to the east of here late in the week and this repositioning will open the door for hotter air to push in from southwest of here. In fact, temperatures should climb into the low-to-mid 90’s for highs on both weekend days and then perhaps into the middle and upper 90’s by the early part of next week.
