Yet another hot humid day with afternoon popcorn thunderstorms into tonight & Saturday. Skies will offer some sunshine early with highs around 90 again today. Clouds will be on the increase ahead of a cold frontal boundary tracking across the southern Great Lakes early this morning. Radar depicts storm activity with embedded thunder as far south as I-70 in southeastern Ohio. This will bring a round of showers and storms to northernmost portions of West Virginia by mid afternoon.
Occasional storms will continue to fire across the Mid-Atlantic states this evening and overnight. Storms could produce heavy rain which would create more water concerns along creeks and streams. A flash flood watch for central West Virginia & eastern Ohio from last night was extended into this evening. Humid conditions with fog and haze will stay with us overnight. Lows tonight will fall into the mid 60s.
We can pretty much copy and paste the same forecast in for Saturday. We'll put up with one more day of hot & humid conditions with highs around 90. Saturday will not be a total loss but more severe weather is on track for Saturday night. Lots of low level moisture & daytime heating will clash with a cold frontal boundary Saturday night. This will bring another round of potentially severe weather & flooding concerns to our area. Slow-moving or stationary storms would further irritate any existing water problems Saturday night. Lows fall to the low to mid 60s. But cooler air awaits!
High pressure will usher in a real nice punch of dry air for Sunday. A few leftover showers and low level clouds will linger in the mountains Sunday morning...clearing by noon. Otherwise we have sunny dry conditions with dew points falling back down into the low 50s & upper 40s. Highs will be in the upper 70s Sunday, and then in the low 70s Monday! Generally clear and mild conditions prevail next week until POPs increase Wednesday night/Thursday.
