The big story around here (and across much of the nation) will be the scorching heat that is on the way, and it can result in some record-breaking days. Temperatures peak later today in the middle 90’s, and they’ll surge on Friday and Saturday to near the 100-degree mark.

It has become uncomfortably humid and warm today across much of the Mid-Atlantic region following the progression of a warm frontal system that is pushing slowly to the north. This change in atmospheric conditions comes following a cool stretch of weather that featured high temperatures on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday that were well below-normal for the middle of June. The atmosphere will quickly destabilize this afternoon and there are likely to be downpours and strong-to-severe thunderstorms impacting the I-95 corridor somewhere between 1pm and 8pm.
A surface cold frontal system will approach the Mid-Atlantic region from the northwest on Thursday, and this will combine with an upper-air disturbance to bring another threat of severe weather threat to the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. The likely timetable for severe thunderstorm activity on Thursday will again be 1pm-8pm, and there can be damaging wind gusts, hail, and even isolated tornadoes in any spot along the I-95 corridor. The cold front clears the coast by later tomorrow night and Friday will turn out to be a rather decent day featuring warm and dry conditions to end the work week.
Looking ahead, a very strong ridge of high pressure will build into the Mid-Atlantic region by the early part of next week and this will lead to high heat and humidity in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor from later this weekend into at least the middle of next week. After a very warm day on Saturday, temperatures are likely to soar into the 90’s on Sunday and then the first half of next week will feature high heat and humidity and 100 degrees will be a possibility in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.

After a cool start to the week, it’ll turn much warmer for today and Thursday in the Mid-Atlantic region and humidity will be a noticeable factor as well. The warm-up comes ahead of a strong frontal system which can produce strong-to-severe thunderstorms around here this afternoon and then additional strong-to-severe thunderstorms are likely later tomorrow.
After a sunny and warm day to end the work week, very strong high pressure ridging in the upper part of the atmosphere will push eastward this weekend. This system will end up directly overhead in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US by the early part of next week and likely stay put until at least the middle of next week. As a result, high heat and humidity is on the way for the northeastern states in the period from later this weekend into the middle of next week and 100-degrees is on the table.

The big story across much of the nation in coming days will be the influx of intense heat and the southeastern US will be impacted as well.

There is a lot going on in the world of weather across the nation with severe weather threats each of the next few days and scorching heat is on the horizon for the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast US. In the near-term, severe weather will be a major concern today in the nation’s mid-section (Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska) and then that threat zone will shift eastward on Wednesday to the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and then to the eastern states on Thursday.
In terms of temperatures, there has been unusually cool weather across the northeastern part of the nation during the past few days and it continues today…this will be just a fond memory in a week’s time as sweltering heat is on the way. Actually, temperatures will surge to much warmer levels on Wednesday and Thursday, but the intense and more sustained heat is coming for the period from later this weekend into at least the middle of next week and 100-degree highs are possible all along the DC-to-Boston corridor.

After a cool start to the week, it’ll turn warmer today and then uncomfortably warm and humid for Wednesday and Thursday with afternoon highs in the 90’s on the table each day. The warm-up at mid-week comes ahead of a strong cold front and both Wednesday and Thursday can feature strong-to-severe thunderstorms during the PM hours.
After backing off a tad on Friday, temperatures will surge around here from later this weekend through the middle of next week with a run to 100 degrees possible in the big cities all along the DC-to-Boston corridor. Very strong upper-level ridging which has been largely confined to the western states in recent days will push to a position centered over the eastern states by early next week and temperatures will respond in a dramatic fashion.

There can be a few strong-to-severe thunderstorms later today and early tonight and temperatures moderate with afternoon highs likely in the lower 80’s. Looking ahead, the big story will be the surge of high heat across the region later this week and through the upcoming weekend. In fact, after highs in the upper 80’s on Wednesday afternoon, temperatures could surge to record-breaking territory in the 95-100 degree range during the Thursday through Sunday time period. A broad flow of air from the SW US will push northeastward across the Front Range and central Plains later this week and temperatures here will respond in a dramatic fashion.
