Discussion              

High pressure that originated in Canada will move overhead today generating another comfortable day in the Mid-Atlantic region with pleasant temperatures and low humidity levels. While the comfortable 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 that is accompanied by very uncomfortably high humidity levels. The weather here turns much more unsettled again beginning late tonight and continuing into the weekend with the renewed threat of showers and thunderstorms…some of the rain can be heavy at times.
