Discussion              

High pressure that originated in Canada will move overhead today generating another nice day in the Mid-Atlantic region with comfortable temperatures and low humidity levels. While the pleasant weather pattern continues here in the Mid-Atlantic region, strong upper-level ridging in the middle of the country is resulting in a blistering heat wave from the Upper Midwest to the Gulf coast. The weather here turns much more unsettled again by late tonight and tomorrow as we’ll have to deal with first a warm frontal system and then a cold front. The end result will be the threat of showers and thunderstorms from late tonight into Saturday – and some of the rain can be heavy at times.
