7:00 AM | **Hot and uncomfortably humid today with an afternoon thunderstorm possible...a strong thunderstorm is possible tonight**

Paul Dorian

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.

7:00 AM | **A surge in heat and humidity on Wednesday...possible strong-to-severe storms by tomorrow night as cold front arrives**

Paul Dorian

High pressure will push into the region today providing us with quiet and warm weather, but the next cold front will bring us unsettled conditions by late tomorrow and tomorrow night. In fact, there is the chance for late day and nighttime showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday and some of the storms can be strong-to-severe. Temperatures will soar tomorrow ahead of the cold front reaching well up into the 90’s for afternoon highs, but then they’ll drop off noticeably for Thursday and Friday following the passage of the front. Looking ahead, Labor Day weekend is looking somewhat unsettled from this vantage point with the chance of additional showers and thunderstorms from time-to-time.

7:00 AM | *Much of the remainder of the week to be rain-free and moderately warm*

Paul Dorian

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 in the mid-to-upper 80’s and likely at or below the 90-degree mark for the rest of the week.

7:15 AM | *It was this time of year in 79 A.D. that Mount Vesuvius erupted and Pompeii, Italy was changed forever…the important role of the weather…some new discoveries*

Paul Dorian

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.
