...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY...AND A RETURN TO 
THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY NEXT WEEK... 

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST FLOW OF HOT AND HUMID AIR ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC
REGION. TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL CLIMB INTO THE 90S WITH THE HEAT
INDEX...OR COMBINATION OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY...INTO THE UPPER 90S
IN SOME AREAS.

ON FRIDAY...THERE WILL BE SOME RELIEF BUT IN THE FORM OF HEAVY 
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH MAY TURN SEVERE IN THE AFTERNOON. A FRONT WILL 
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AND ANY
THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY DAMAGING WINDS...TORRENTIAL 
RAINS...HAIL...AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. FOR THIS 
REASON THE AREA HAS BEEN PLACED IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORMS BY THE SEVERE STORM PREDICTION CENTER. THE MOST LIKELY 
TIME PERIOD FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING 
HOURS. 

THE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE ENOUGH 
CLOUDINESS TO KEEP THE TEMPERATURES FROM REACHING TOO FAR INTO THE 
90S BUT IT WILL BE HUMID. AND...WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT AND 
NORTHWEST WINDS...THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARM ON SATURDAY BUT THE 
HUMIDITY LOW. THE WEEKEND THEREFORE WILL BE TOLERABLE INSTEAD OF 
OPPRESSIVE.

HOWEVER...THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL RETURN THE BEGINNING OF THE 
WORK WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE 90S AND THE HUMIDITY TO 
THE POINT WHERE THE COMBINED EFFECT OR HEAT INDEX MAY MAXIMIZE INTO 
THE 100 TO 105 DEGREE RANGE. THIS OPPRESSIVE COMBINATION WILL 
CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY...WHEN ANOTHER FRONT DROPS THROUGH THE 
REGION.     

IN SHORT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT...A 
CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ON 
FRIDAY...AND A RETURN TO THE OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY RETURNING 
FOR THE WORK WEEK.
