Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
Hot and humid again today. Showers and storms for midweek. A break from the heat and humidity to end the week.
Highs will return to the low to mid 90s today with an afternoon heat index in the low to mid triple digits. Expect partly cloudy skies with stray shower/storm possible. It will be windy today with SW winds at 10 to 20 and gusts to 25 mph. More showers and storms will start to build in tonight as a cold front approaches from the west.
Wednesday will be the soggy day of the week as the cold front slowly slides across the Mid-Atlantic. Rain could be heavy at times with many locations seeing 0.5” to 1” of rainfall. Temperatures will drop to the mid 80s, but it will still be humid.
A nice end to the work week and 4th of July. Highs will linger near 90 (near normal for this time of year) with lower humidity. Look for clearing skies on Thursday and mostly sunny skies on Friday. Rain chances are looking low for 4th of July fireworks.
