Here Comes The Heat!













August 9th-11th Heat Potential.

We are going to have some of the warmest Temperatures in the season coming on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday for the Mid Atlantic, and parts of the Northeast, the culprit is a high pressure area currently situated over are area and a warm front out in the Midwest. This has caused hot weather South and East of the Warm front with high areas of convection near it. This front will be coming this way as we move into the weekend. It will be in the Northeast by Monday causing places South and East to endure hot Temperatures, that includes Temperatures in the 80s, 90s, and maybe even 100s for some. This heat will begin on Sunday, and last until about Tuesday.

Day by day forecast.

Sunday

This will be the start of the heating, the front will be nearing, and we will have the high pressure in the area. This will be giving places in the Mid Atlantic Temps of 90-100 locally while the rest of the Northeast will have Temps of 70-90 degrees, there will be some possible convection with the heat. Here is what I am predicting for Temperatures.

Predicted Highs

Boston:80
Albany:84
New York:86
Philadelphia:90
Harrisburg:89
Baltimore:93
Washington:95
Richmond:97

Monday

This will be the warmest day of the heat, the Warm front will be in place and will allow for major heat for the Mid Atlantic and Northeast, Temperatures in the Mid Atlantic will be 90-105 degrees while the rest of the region will have 75-90 degree Temperatures, there will be more instability and convection around so I wouldn't be suprised if there are Thunderstorms in the Northeast. Heat index may be in the 95-110 degree zone for many in the Mid Atlantic. Here is what I am predicting

Predicted Hights

Boston:83
Albany:86
New York:91
Philadelphia:94
Harrisburg:94
Baltimore:96
Washington:98
Richmond:100

Tuesday

This day will be a little bit cooler in Temperatures due to more convection over the Mid Atlantic and Northeast, but there will still be Above Average Temperatures as the front and the high pressure will still be lingering affecting our weather. I see highs of 90-100 in the Mid Atlantic. especially the eastern part and highs from 70-90 in the Northeast back down through OH, WV, and KY. Here is my prediction for the Temps.

Predicted Highs

Boston:85
Albany:84
New York:88
Philadelphia:91
Harrisburg:91
Baltimore:93
Washington:94
Richmond:96

Overall, this should be the best potential for heat since the June 7-10 2008 Heat Wave. Folks, you should go outside and try to get to the pool as much as possible, also keep your eye to the sky as convection will be high, enjoy this heat while it lasts, with the El Nino, there could be more wild weather ahead.

Comments would be appreciated.

    With this incoming South/Southwest wind, the next couple of days will feel very hot with the heat index of 90-110 through the Mid Atlantic and Southern New England in this period. There may be heat advisories issued for the New York City and Richmond through Baltimore areas. Once again, just make sure you know what you are doing when you are outside.
