If you missed the heat and humidity of days past, well, you get another chance to enjoy it. The next few days will be well above average with highs reaching the mid 90s with dewpoints in the upper 60s! It could be another mini-heat wave if we have 3 or more consecutive days of 90+ temperatures. Here are list of today's records...
Georgetown 99 - 1952
Salisbury 100 - 1952
Wallops Island 93 - 2003, 1968
While it doesn't look like Salisbury or Georgetown will break their records, Wallops Island should come close.
A big Bermuda high pressure system will sit off the southeast coast pumping heat and humidity northward. The heat index, or what it feels like, will be near 100° over the next few days. In typical summertime fashion, there is a chance for scattered pop up showers/storms each day. The best chance for showers will hold off until Sunday and Monday when a cold front is expected to pass through the area. Highs should remain in the mid to upper 80s for the beginning of July.
As of yesterday, June was averaging 3.99° above normal (for the high temperature). With temperatures expected to stay in the 90s, June should end well above average. Will it continue into July?? Stay tuned...
