Summer Heat is on! Weekend Outlook
Summer is here! Well, not officially but it will certainly feel like it in a few days. This weekend will mark the first heat wave of the season with temperatures reaching the mid 90’s all the way to the coast. The reason for this is an air mass moving into our area where the wind will shift from the northeast to the southwest as the front passes. As the winds shift from the southwest, warm humid air will be pumped into our region. A major heat outbreak will spread from DC northward. We are looking at temperatures in NYC at 96 on Saturday. DC will be looking at temperatures around 100 for three days straight. You can find me on the beach this weekend.
I'd also like to call attention to Jeff's weather Forecast from April which called for above normal heat activity despite cooling.
