Today will be another very hot and humid day with plenty of sunshine during the morning hours and then increasing clouds later in the afternoon. The late day clouds will be in advance of a slow-moving cold frontal system which can result in isolated showers and thunderstorms through the evening hours. More numerous showers and thunderstorms are likely on Thursday in what will be a big-time transition day for the Mid-Atlantic region from the high heat and humidity of the first half of the week to much cooler conditions by week’s end.
As the cold front slowly grinds its way through the area, low pressure will form along the boundary zone and increase the chances for some heavy rainfall on Thursday and Thursday night and localized flash flooding is a possibility. Showers can linger on Friday - the first day of August - and the day will be much cooler with well below-normal temperatures and a stiff E-NE wind. Clearing skies should develop later Friday night and the first weekend of August should turn out to be one of the nicest of the entire summer season with very comfortable temperatures and low humidity values.

The Atlantic Basin tropical season typically reaches a peak around the middle of September and the preceding month of August usually features a steady ramp up in overall activity. Indeed, adhering to the climatological theme, it appears that tropical activity is about to pick up in the Atlantic Basin after we flip the calendar from July to August, and it could feature multiple systems. A teleconnection index known as the Madden-Julian Oscillation or MJO is providing support to this idea and suggests the time period from around August 5th to the 20th could be one to watch.

Today should be another rain-free day in the region with plenty of sunshine, but continued very hot and humid conditions and afternoon highs well up in the 90’s. A slow-moving cold frontal system will approach the region at mid-week and it can result in some scattered late day and/or nighttime shower and thunderstorm activity. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are likely on Thursday in what will be a transition day for the Mid-Atlantic region as the cold front slowly grinds its way through the area…there is the potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Showers can linger on Friday - the first day of August - and the day will be noticeably cooler with well below-normal temperatures. An east-to-northeast breeze will be quite noticeable as well with low pressure pushing slowly away from the east coast. Clearing skies arrive on Friday night and the weekend should turn out to be one of the nicest of the entire summer season with very comfortable temperatures and low humidity values.

High heat and humidity will persist in the Mid-Atlantic region through mid-week with high temperatures well up in the 90’s each afternoon, but there is significant relief in sight and the transition from here-to-there may feature some heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding conditions. A slow moving cold frontal system will approach the area late Wednesday and then only be able to slowly grind its way through on Thursday as low pressure forms along the frontal boundary zone. Showers and thunderstorms are likely to be scattered late Wednesday and Wednesday night and then they should become widespread on Thursday. Some of the rain can be heavy at times on Thursday with flash flooding conditions possible as part of the transition from the current high heat to the comfortable air mass coming at the end of week. The arrival of much cooler air on Friday will coincide with the calendar flip from July to August and the first several days of the new month look quite comfortable from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic. Showers may linger on Friday morning and the day will feature a stiff E-NE breeze with low pressure pulling slowly away from the east coast. Clearing skies will set in on Friday night and the first weekend of August may just turn out to be the nicest weekend of the entire summer season with comfortable temperatures and low humidity levels.
