Area Forecast Discussion

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No changes to the forecast for this update cycle.

.KEY MESSAGES...
- Dry and comfortable weather continues for the second half of the
weekend into Monday.
- Heat and humidity return midweek with possible heat headlines
Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Periods of unsettled weather possible later this week as an upper
level trough pushes over the region.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry and comfortable weather continues for the second
half of the weekend into Monday.
High pressure crests over the area today with a seasonable airmass
in place through Monday. Temperatures in the low to mid 80s and
dewpoints in the upper 50s to low 60s will continue through the
start of the work week. The drier air mass will also keep rain
chances to near zero before moisture returns later in the week. Only
weather of note for today into Monday will be haze from Canadian
Wildfires that may lead to periods of filtered sunshine and haze
through the first half of the week.
KEY MESSAGE 2...Heat and humidity return midweek with possible heat
headlines Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mid-level high pressure ridging will center over the Central U.S.,
stretching into the Mid Atlantic through much of next week, brings a
period of mostly hot and dry weather across the Northeast. Hot
temperatures in the low to mid 90s to perhaps upper 90s will return
mid week with some locations possibly nearing 100 Tuesday and
Wednesday. The next forecast update may introduce heat-related
statements for the mid week timeframe as heat index values climb
into the 90s to low 100s. While not as intense as the previous
stretch of hot weather, temperatures of this magnetite still will
present significant risks for those working or recreating outside.
KEY MESSAGE 3...Periods of unsettled weather possible later this
week as an upper level trough pusses over the region.
Models continue to show an amplifying upper-level trough over Quebec
towards the middle and end of next week. The trough will serve to
suppress the ridge and cool 850 temps to +10-13C. These values
translate to highs in the mid lower to mid 80s by Friday. A series
of shortwave disturbances rotating around the periphery of the
trough bring chances for precipitation and unsettled weather by the
end of the week and potentially into next weekend.
