It’ll be quite humid in the Mid-Atlantic region for the next few days as high pressure pushes farther offshore and the overall pattern becomes more unsettled. A trough of low pressure will slide into the area on Wednesday increasing the chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms and then a weak cold front can be the impetus for another round of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday. The end of the week and upcoming weekend look to be quite warm and likely rain-free with high pressure back in control.

Tropical Storm Erin continues to churn to the west today with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph and it is very likely to become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic Basin season by the end of the week. In fact, Erin could become a “major” hurricane (category 3 and higher) over the upcoming weekend as it pushes over increasingly warm waters of the tropical Atlantic Ocean. After that, Hurricane Erin will probably begin a curve in its path to the north/northeast over the western Atlantic Ocean and likely resulting in it never reaching the US east coast. However, there are still several days to go before this expected curve and it is something we’ll continue to closely monitor in coming days.

High pressure that developed over southeastern Canada last week has shifted offshore and it will tend to weaken and push farther away by mid-week. In addition, a trough of low pressure looks to become established by mid-week and the result will be a more unsettled weather pattern and a returning chance of showers and thunderstorms. Later in the week, a weak cold front will approach the region - perhaps with another chance of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday - and then dry, very warm weather should return for Friday and Saturday.

The upcoming week will generally feature very warm conditions with a daily shot of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. High pressure off the northeast coastline continues to be the main player across the eastern states.

The next couple of days will feature dry and moderately warm conditions with high pressure in control. Hotter weather returns for the second half of the week and it’ll become more unsettled as well with a daily chance of afternoon/evening showers and thunderstorms.

The annual Perseid meteor shower began on July 17th and will continue through August 23rd, but the peak viewing times will be during the late-night hours on Tuesday, August 12th to the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, August 13th. The Perseid meteor shower comes every July/August as the Earth passes through a cloud of dust that comes from Comet Swift-Tuttle as it approaches the sun. The moon will be somewhat of a hindrance this year as it will be just beyond its full moon phase which took place on August 9th. One special bonus for sky watchers, however, will be the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter visible in the eastern sky during the pre-dawn hours so look for that feature as well early Wednesday.

High pressure centered over southeastern Canada will shift slowly offshore during the next couple of days and it will continue to influence the weather around here. Given the position of the high, there will be a continuing broad low-level flow of air from the ocean (i.e., east-to-northeast winds) into the northeastern states and this will keep temperatures in check right through the weekend. By the middle of next week, this high will weaken and shift farther offshore opening the door for somewhat more unsettled weather to return to the region.
