Becoming stickier and a bit unsettled
High pressure is still in control but is has been slowly sliding eastbound. With that, the wind has turned back around from the SW. That wind flow pumped our temps back into the lower and middle 80s this afternoon which is closer to seasonable levels. Slowly but surely, the humidity will start to creep up with this wind flow as well. We'll start to notice a stickier feel in the air on Sunday, combining with the warmth to make for a more Summer-Like feels. Heat Index values could rise back into the lower 90s early in the workweek with even hotter conditions by midweek. The heat and humidity will also help with some stray storms as a few different disturbances slide through the region. The first arrives late Sunday into Monday. We'll keep the threat of isolated storms on Monday too as we'll still have some lift on top of us. A rogue stronger storm is possible with some more instability in the atmosphere. This is something we'll be watching closely as a Marginal Risk is draped across parts of the area. Tuesday looks drier as we'll be in between waves, but it'll still muggy and warm. The pattern stays active , with another series of disturbances moving in Wednesday into the weekend. None of the days are looking like washouts but we'll keep the slim chance in the forecast through much of next week. A stronger system looks to slide our way and that could eventually bring higher shower and storm chances next weekend. A cold front likely swings through the Commonwealth and will bring us back down into the lower 80s by Sunday. It's still over a week a way but it's something we'll continue to monitor. Another cold front slides our way likely in the Monday to Tuesday timeframe, keeping our shower and storm threat elevated. Temperatures look to fall back down below normal, dipping back into the upper 70s and lower 80s by Tuesday.
