Discussion
The new work week starts off with very pleasant conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region, but a heat wave is in the making as we reach the end of June and begin the month of July. High pressure over southeastern Canada will build southward today and control the weather around here for the next couple of days. Temperatures and humidity levels will be very comfortable for late June and there will be plenty of sunshine as well each of the next two days. A frontal system will approach the area on Wednesday and there will be a noticeable increase in clouds and humidity and also a chance of showers and thunderstorms from later Wednesday into Thursday. Heat and humidity then returns by the weekend and it looks like this unfolding heat wave will continue well into next week.
