Strong high pressure shifts offshore today and this will result in a warming trend for the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures can climb to the 80 degree mark today to go along with plenty of (hazy) sunshine and then soar to the middle and upper 80’s on Wednesday and Thursday...a few spots can top out at 90 degrees. The weather turns more unsettled again for the end of the week and the early part of the weekend with an approaching frontal system and an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms.

Strong high pressure shifts offshore today and this will result in a warming trend for the area. Temperatures can climb into the lower 80’s today to go along with plenty of sunshine and then soar to the upper 80’s on Wednesday and Thursday...a few spots can top out at 90 degrees. The weather turns more unsettled again for the end of the week and the early part of the weekend with an approaching frontal system and an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms.
One final note, the first official 90-degree day is possible on Wednesday or Thursday and should this take place, it would be about three weeks behind the average and the latest first 90-degree day since 2016.

Mount Etna erupted on Monday, surprising tourists and sending them fleeing to safety as huge plumes of ash and debris shot out of the volcano and into the sky, according to news reports. A pyroclastic flow, or avalanche of burning ash, crashed down the slopes of the volcano’s southeast crater, according to Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Toulouse reported that the ash cloud had reached an estimated height of 21,000 feet. Despite the many videos of people fleeing down Mt. Etna during the eruption, no injuries or fatalities have resulted or been reported so far.

As we start the new work week, an upper-level ridge of high pressure builds across the southeastern states. As a result, low-level winds from a south-to-southwest direction will develop bringing warmer and more humid air into the region. The dry weather pattern will continue as well during the next few days with little to no rainfall expected in the Tennessee Valley.

Strong high pressure builds just to the south of here today and it’ll be in control of the weather for the next few days. As it gradually slides to the south and east, a warming trend will get underway and temperatures will climb from a chilly start to the day this morning to near 90 degrees for afternoon highs on Wednesday and Thursday. The weather becomes somewhat unsettled late in the week with a weak upper-level trough forming in the eastern states.
One final note, while not a record, the low temperature of 48 degrees on Sunday morning at Washington’s Reagan National Airport (DCA) was the first June day below 50 since the 49 degrees on June 1, 1984, and the lowest June temperature since 47 degrees occurred on June 11, 1972 (which happened to be the month that featured Tropical Storm Agnes).

A heavy rain event is headed to the Mid-Atlantic region with as much as 3 or 4 inches on the table in some spots...
A cold front will stall-out in close proximity later today and low pressure will form along its boundary zone. As a result, showers and thunderstorms are likely to impact the region from later today into later Saturday...some of the rain will be heavy at times and some of the thunderstorms can be strong-to-severe with damaging wind gusts and possible hail. Another cold front will cross the region late tomorrow sweeping away the unsettled weather and it’ll turn drier on Sunday with plenty of sunshine to go along with windy and cooler-than-normal conditions for the first day of June. The first half of next week looks dry as well with increasingly warm conditions leading to high temperatures well up in the 80’s by mid-week.
