Hot Weekend Ahead

As Kira mentioned, another old fashioned heat wave is underway, but not as hot as the heat wave earlier in the month. Classic setup with high pressure off the East Coast with Southwesterly flow pumping in the heat and humidity. High temperatures today topped off in the low to mid 90s around the shore. Not quite near the record highs on upper 90s to around 100 as no records were set today. However, the 90s will continue through Sunday.

Just as mentioned below, with the increased humidity and daytime heating, there remains be a chance of isolated storms on Friday and Saturday. A slow moving cold front is still slated to approach later Sunday and Monday providing a better chance of scattered showers and storms during this time period. I am thinking Monday looks like the best bet for any wet weather. Right now, it looks like the front will slide offshore enough by Tuesday to bring some relief from the heat and humidity. Highs will then drop into the mid 80s for mid-week with lower humidity. Stay cool!!!
