TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE MIDWEST
WILL MOVE EAST AND BE ACROSS THE AREA FROM THURSDAY INTO THE
WEEKEND. THIS WILL BRING INCREASINGLY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS
FROM LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SOME THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THESE ARE CLOSER TO THE COLD FRONT AND ALSO
ALONG A SEA BREEZE FRONT OVER THE DELMARVA. THE MODELS AGREE WITH
PUSHING THESE STORMS TO THE SOUTHEAST. AFTER SUNSET THE FORCING
WILL WEAKEN AND THE STORMS WILL WEAKEN RAPIDLY. WITH CAPES UP
AROUND 2000 WHERE THE SUN HAS COME OUT THIS AFTERNOON THIS WILL
HELP TO FUEL THE STORMS. THE SHEAR IS BETTER ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE CWA AND MAY SUPPORTED AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM THIS
EVENING. HOWEVER THE MAIN PART OF THE STORM WILL BE THE HEAVY RAIN.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE 70S OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

ON WEDNESDAY MODELS SHOW SOME DRYING DEVELOPING TEMPORARILY ACROSS
THE AREA. THIS LEADS TO DEWPOINTS REMAINING AROUND 70. ALSO CAPES
ARE HELD DOWN SOME AS TEMPERATURES ALOFT WARM. WILL BE A HOT DAY
ON WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS INTO THE MID 90S BUT WITH DEWPOINTS AROUND
70 GOT HEAT INDEXES JUST BELOW 105 SO WILL NOT BE PUTTING UP ANY
ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME. SHOULD ALSO BE DRY WITH ONLY AN ISOLATED
CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM MAINLY DEVELOPING ALONG THE LEE SIDE TROF
TO THE WEST OF THE AREA AND DRIFTING INTO THE WESTERN SECTIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

BE IN THE LOW 70S AND ON FRIDAY COULD HAVE SOME MID 70S DEWPOINTS.
LOOKING AT LOCAL THICKNESS STUDIES GIVE MAXES ON FRIDAY TO NEAR
105 IN THE WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA. WILL NOT GO THAT HIGH BUT
EVEN MOS IS AROUND 100 FOR RIC AND FVX BOTH THU AND FRIDAY. ALSO
HAVE SOME 85H WINDS COMING IN FROM THE WEST TO HELP THE WARMING
PROCESS SO COULD SEE TEMPERATURES APPROACHING RECORDS ON FRIDAY.
BOTH DAYS CAN EXPECT HEAT INDEXES EXCEEDING 110 AND COULD GO AS
HIGH AS 115. THIS WILL CREATE A DANGEROUS HEAT EVENT FOR THURSDAY

STRNG UPR LVL RIDGE CONTS THE HEAT WAVE THROUGH SUNDAY. WEAK FRONTAL
BNDRY PROGGED MOVES SOUTH OVER THE WEEKEND...BUT LTST SUITE OF GUID
HAVING A HARD TIME PUSHING IT FRTHR SOUTH THAN NRN VA. WHAT IT DOES
IS A DVLP A SFC (LEE) TROF BOTH SAT / SUN. LOW CONFIDENCE FOR ANY
CONVECTION TO DVLP DUE TO STRENGTH OF RIDGE SO KEPT A DRY/HOT FCST.
HIGHS BOTH DAYS 95-100 WITH HX VALUES ARND 105. LOWS 75-80.

WRN VA/NC BUT NOT EXPECTED TO BE MUCH CONCERN FOR OUR CWA. WEAK
