Back into the heat with some heat advisories possible through the workweek. Afternoon highs to be mostly in the 90s. Dew points are "sky high" . Hopefully, as with yesterday, afternoon breezes will help temper the excessive late summer heat. Some chances for scattered SHRA and TSRA across the region as afternoon heat builds each day.

The run of hot "dog-days-of-summer" continues as high pressure over the Middle Atlantic becomes stationary and just a bit too stagnant. Temps generally ranging from the upper 70s at dawn and upper 80s to lower 90s in the afternoons (since last post). High dew points and humidity readings, especially in the evening through sunrise. Rather light and oft variable winds.

Did have a refreshing sea-breeze FROPA 8/19 which cooled off the temps about 5-10° in the afternoon and produced a few SHRA which moved along the sea-breeze boundary in late afternoon just before sunset. 0.08" at that time ... wasn't much, but it did cool things off nicely and give the gardens a refreshing thirst-quencher.

Extremely stable weather over most of the past 6 days with low and high temps daily just about the same. Little rain altho' the area did see spotty heavy downpours and thunderstorms scattered across the region, none of which passed over here. Two-days ago, late evening, a coastal FROPA that dropped high temps into the 80s on NE winds which have gradually turned in from the SE and eventually S to SW as wedge of "cooler" air pulls back to the NE and heads seaward. Dew points and humidity to increase. As in the past week, afternoon sun may trigger some hefty thunderstorms and showers in the afternoons today and Monday as bit of energy passing through interact with a trough across Eastern Virginia. May see greater lift ahead of cold front moving through, another contributor to scattered heavy TSRA. Keeping an eye out of possible flash flooding with an excessive rain. Summer in full force!!
