We'll have two more muggy days before finally getting some relief from the heat and humidity. Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms develop this afternoon and linger into the evening hours. A cold front approaches through the Ohio Valley on Monday sparking scattered showers and thunderstorms. Showers and storms linger overnight Monday with clouds and showers lasting through mid-morning to lunch-time Tuesday.

Forecast Discussion

High pressure remains in place across the Gulf of Mexico, Southeast, and into the Mid-Atlantic. This typical setup continues to produce hot and humid conditions across much of the eastern third of the country. The extra moisture aids the development of widely scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. A few showers and storms could linger into the evening hours.

A potent cold front moves out of the Great Lakes and into the Ohio Valley Monday. The front interacts with the hot and humid air in place across the region producing scattered showers and thunderstorms. Coverage diminishes somewhat Monday night, however, expect showers and storms to linger overnight. Some clouds and showers persist into Tuesday morning, clearing by lunch-time. Much cooler air settles into the region with high pressure Tuesday behind the cold front.

Wednesday through Saturday will be absolutely pleasant. High pressure moves through the Mid-Atlantic and settles over the Northeast. Cooler and drier weather prevails through Saturday keeping rain at bay. Temperatures trend upward a tad by Saturday, but the humidity remains tolerable.
