KEY MESSAGE 1...Above normal temperatures, at least 5 to 10 degrees above average, expected Tuesday through late week.
KEY MESSAGE 1 DESCRIPTION... A large high pressure system will move east across the Mid Atlantic coast and out to sea on Tuesday. Areas to the N of the high will be influence by the WSW flow. This will bring mostly sunny skies and warm temps well above normal for this time of year. However, the SW flow will keep coastal temps much lower due to the sea breeze. Temperatures likely to be at least 5 to 10 degrees above normal with the highest temperatures currently expected towards the end of the week. The hot weather should also help to develop some isolated to scattered thunderstorms each afternoon beginning Wednesday and continuing through the end of the week.
