The remainder of this week looks relatively quiet and there should be no sustained high heat for the region. While an isolated shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out during the next few days, most of the time should be rain-free. Temperatures should peak later today near 90 degrees and likely at or below the 90-degree mark for the rest of the week.

A strong cold front will approach the area later today and it’ll bring with it the chance of isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon and then another round of thunderstorms is possible from this evening into the overnight hours. Any thunderstorm later today or tonight can reach strong-to-severe levels with some heavy rainfall and powerful wind gusts. Ahead of the front, temperatures will soar today with afternoon highs well up in the 90’s and overall humidity levels will be quite uncomfortable; especially, compared to recent days.
It turns cooler on Thursday and Friday following the passage of the cold front, but also remains unsettled as the frontal system stalls out nearby. Looking ahead to the Labor Day weekend, the weather is likely to remain somewhat unsettled with the chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday and possibly again later Sunday as we’ll have to deal with a couple of cold frontal systems in the Mid-Atlantic region. A cooler and dry air mass will push into the northeastern states for the early part of next week.

It was shortly after noon on August 24th in the year 79 A.D. and Mount Vesuvius sent a tall cloud of steam and ash high up into the atmosphere. The ancient Roman town of Pompeii near modern day Naples was soon covered in complete darkness and the thickness of the falling debris increased by about 6 to 8 inches per hour. The rocks which comprised the debris were up to 3 inches in diameter and fell with a speed of up to 100 miles/hour. This first phase of the eruption led to casualties primarily caused by roof collapses. After 12 hours of continuous explosive activity, the second phase of the eruption began and it was characterized by substantial flow of lava down the sloping Mount Vesuvius and this caused additional deaths and destruction. In fact, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius spewed 1.5 million tons of lava per second into Pompeii and surrounding towns. In a short period of time, an estimated 15 to 20 percent of Pompeii’s population died (about two thousand people), the small towns of Herculaneum, Oplonti and Stabiae were destroyed, and Pompeii was changed forever.
