86/73 quite a bit more humid again. bout 3 -4 hours of sun before clouds and potential storms arrive / cloud deck pushing into C-PA we'll see how much burns off before tracking here by 1/2 PM. More 90s today with a much higher heat index.. More of the same tomorrow with storms and clouds probably keeping maxes closer to 90 but sunny spots should rack up some mid 90s. Friday toss up day looking to break the 90s streak for most sites but warmer less wet sites can continue the streak to day 6. Saturday looks less onshore flow and warmer air should push temps into the upper 80s/ low 90s before stronger heat arrives Sun (7/26) - Tue (7/28). 850s near 20c we'll see if the strongest heat remains in the Balt/DC/DE area again but look for 95(+) and some upper 90s LGA/JFK/EWR perhaps NYC. Outside chance of 100s still in the hot spots.
Strong cold front by Wed 7/29 with the ridge migrating west to end July and trough and storminess pushing east over the area. Long range beyond there trough is pushing into the PAC NW by ealry August and strong heat building into the Rockies and Plains should eject east again and reach the area by Aug 4. Before that a 'cooler period' 7/30 - Aug 3 maybe at or just below avg, and potentially wetter than normal. We'll see how things progress and any shifting of the ridge more towards the plains than the Rockies.
