6:15 AM | **Good chance of late day/evening showers and thunderstorms...hottest day of the week comes on Thursday**

Paul Dorian

It’ll remain quite warm and humid today and unsettled with a good chance of late day and evening showers and thunderstorms...some of the rain can be heavy. The frontal system that stalled out in the area on Tuesday will begin a push to the north later today as a warm front adding to the instability in the atmosphere. Following the passage of the warm front, tomorrow will likely turn out to be the hottest day of the week with highs in the lower 90’s and there will be a continuing chance for showers and thunderstorms. The next cold front arrives on Friday - potentially with another round of showers and thunderstorms. It appears this front will clear the coast by Friday night paving the way for lower humidity to start the upcoming weekend.

6:15 AM | **Warm and very humid today with isolated afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms**

Paul Dorian

It’ll remain warm and very humid today and somewhat unsettled with isolated showers and thunderstorms likely during the afternoon and evening hours (shouldn’t be as widespread as yesterday). The strong cold front that pushed into the region late yesterday is stalling out and it’ll turn back to the north on Wednesday likely leading to an enhanced chance of showers and thunderstorms at mid-week. Following the passage of the warm front, Thursday could turn out to be the hottest day of the week with highs at or slightly above the 90 degree mark and a continuing chance for showers and thunderstorms. The next cold front arrives later Friday - potentially with another round of showers and thunderstorms - and, if we’re lucky, it may just clear the coast and result in a decent start to the weekend with lower humidity.

One final note, as a follow-up to yesterday’s “Home Run Derby” posting, the longest HR hit last night in a hot and humid Atlanta was 513 feet by Oneil Cruz of the Pirates (4th longest in Derby history) and the winner was Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners. Next years All-Star game and HR Derby will be played in beautiful Citizens Park of South Philadelphia as part of the 250th birthday celebration for the country.

1:00 PM (Monday) - ****It’s déjà vu all over again...strong storms and flooding downpours on the table for the DC-to-Philly-to-New York City corridor****

Paul Dorian

The combination of a tropical air mass, a slow-moving surface cold front, and an upper-level disturbance raises the chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region. And, as has been the case quite often in recent days, some of the storms can be strong-to-severe and flooding downpours are on the table with a few inches possible in some spots in a short period of time. While flash-flooding is the greatest concern in this scenario, isolated damaging wind gusts are also possible later today associated with “downburst-type” thunderstorm activity. Looking ahead, while the threat of showers and thunderstorms may diminish on Tuesday, it is likely to rise again at mid-week as a stalled-out frontal system makes a turnaround and heads back to the north as a warm front.

*Baseball’s Home Run Derby takes place tonight in Atlanta…weather can have quite an impact on the distance baseballs can travel…a surprising recent finding regarding winds*

Paul Dorian

The All-Star break has arrived for big-league baseball which always features a Home Run Derby that’ll take place this evening in Atlanta, Georgia and the All-Star game will be played on Tuesday night. The weather looks quite hot and humid both for tonight’s Home Run Derby and tomorrow’s game and Tuesday can feature scattered showers and thunderstorms in the area. The high heat and humidity expected for this evening in Atlanta should be quite favorable for baseballs to carry so there are likely to be some mammoth shots in Truist Park. Winds will not be much of a factor during the next couple of nights, but a recent detailed analysis confirms the notion that winds can be highly influential in the distance a ball can travel and there were some surprising findings.

6:15 AM | **Chance of PM showers and thunderstorms...some of the storms can be strong-to-severe and flooding downpours are possible**

Paul Dorian

It’ll remain very warm, humid, and unsettled this week with showers and thunderstorms from time-to-time. Any thunderstorm that forms in this tropical environment can reach strong-to-severe levels with flooding downpours and damaging wind gusts on the table. A strong cold front will slowly cross the region later today, stall out nearby on Tuesday, and then push northward later Wednesday as a warm front. Another cold front approaches towards the end of the week.
