Latest Forecast

In the wake of Thursday night's cold frontal passage, northerly winds of 5-10 mph have ushered a drier, less humid and more refreshing air mass into the Commonwealth. Dewpoints have fallen into the low-to-mid 60s, and skies will be partly-to-mostly cloudy this afternoon with highs in the low-to-mid 80s. The front will lift back north as a warm front later tonight into Saturday and be the focal point for scattered showers and thunderstorms during that time. Dewpoints will climb back into the upper 60s to low 70s tomorrow, and the higher humidity and instability will fuel locally heavy downpours. Due to the saturated ground and recent onslaught of drenching storms, isolated incidents of flash flooding may occur. However, the storms should not be as widespread nor as intense as in recent weeks. A quick-moving disturbance may spark additional showers and storms Saturday night, and a cold front sweeping through the mid-Atlantic States on Sunday will trigger isolated showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon hours. Fortunately, severe weather is not anticipated. Ahead of the front, it will be oppressively hot and humid with highs in the mid 80s to perhaps 90°F, dewpoints in the low-to-mid 70s and heat indices between 95-100°F Sunday afternoon.
