6/7 DC/MD/VA Weather Outlook

A steamy day is on tap today! Highs will be 90s for most people east of the mountains due to a warming westerly wind component. That includes areas near the coast and near waters west of the bay, but just east of the bay may be cooled by the waters. Strong to severe storms could fire in the South and Southeast today. I will monitor for a possible alert. Warm and steamy conditions will likely hold through the extended period with highs pretty much in the mid to upper 80s. There should be a slight break in the humidity tomorrow though. 

Summary: An exciting night for me in Sterling Virginia! Heavy winds and a lot of lightning made the storminess exciting. See the storm reports for VA here: http://www.midatlanticweather.com/hw3.php?forecast=stormreports&use;_state=va&maplinks;=   and Maryland here: http://www.midatlanticweather.com/hw3.php?forecast=stormreports&use;_state=md&maplinks;= Warm and humid temperatures will be a dominant factor for the near term with the Bermuda High being prevalent. Isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out in warm steamy conditions that we will experience. More widespread storms could be seen Friday.

COMING SOON! : Awaiting the release of a new plugin that will allow email warnings to be sent by my site! I will let you know!
