Above normal high temperatures in the mid 90s each day will continue to push heat index into the 100 to 105 degree range each afternoon.

Scattered thunderstorms are expected each day. the stronger storms will be capable of frequent lightning and gusty winds.

Monday, mean layer ridge shifts over the area with slightly drier air aloft moving in. Expecting mainly diurnal storms with best coverage over the inland areas where the sea breezes merge. The GFS brings in a middle level impulse during the afternoon which will help enhance storms and may see a few strong storms with frequent lightning and strong winds.

Tuesday, mean layer ridge shifts south of the area as a trough of low pressure forms across the middle Atlantic. The West Coast sea breeze will be the most active and will probably merge with the East Coast sea breeze near or east of the I-95 corridor. Convection will be diurnal in nature and will form along the sea breezes. Have gone with scattered probability of precipitation area wide. Precipitable waters increase to around 2 inches and with daytime heating and instability could see strong storms with frequent lightning and strong winds.

Upper high will retrograde as a trough of low pressure digs over New England. This will allow front to sag a bit closer to our north zones and increase southwest surface flow. As a result probability of precipitation will increase a bit with better chances of rain over east areas. Temperatures will remain several degrees above normal this week.
