Discussion

The next few days will be quite unsettled in the Mid-Atlantic region as the heat and humidity build to rather uncomfortable levels. Showers are likely today and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed in and the threat of showers and thunderstorms will continue on Thursday and Friday as well. Some of the rain that falls through Friday night can be heavy at times and some of the storms can reach strong-to-severe levels. A frontal system should cross the area on Friday night and its passage will lead to more comfortable conditions this weekend (i.e., lower humidity) and generally dry weather for both days.

Discussion

The second half of the work week will feature very warm and humid conditions and it’ll be quite unsettled as well with multiple chances of showers and thunderstorms. High pressure that pushed into the northeastern states over the weekend will shift to the western Atlantic Ocean at mid-week opening the door for some very warm air to move into the Mid-Atlantic region along with noticeably higher humidity levels. Showers and thunderstorms will be a threat each day from Wednesday through Friday, but a Friday night frontal passage should pave the way for a more comfortable and dry weekend.

Overview

Sometimes during the month of June, the jet stream retreats safely to the north into Canada, and the weather settles down across the continental US...that certainly does not appear to the case this years. Upper-level troughs of low pressure and colder-than-normal air masses continue to drop into the US from Canada, and this is resulting in severe weather outbreaks and there will be an enhanced threat during the next two days. Next week promises to feature a very impressive upper-level trough by June standards that will no doubt be impactful with more severe weather threats and widespread cooler-than-normal conditions.

Details

The threat of severe weather will become enhanced over the Northern Plains on Tuesday and then across the Middle and Upper Mississippi Valley regions on Wednesday. The combination of moist air flowing northward from the southern states and a vigorous upper-level trough will create the instability required for severe weather on Tuesday and Wednesday and this same system could produce strong-to-severe thunderstorms later in the week across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Northeast US. The hazards associated with the severe weather during the next couple of days will include frequent lightning, powerful wind gusts, hail and the possibility of tornadoes.

By early next week, another upper-level trough will become established over the central Plains and this one looks to become quite deep and widespread for the month of June...even more impressive than the near-term system. As a result, look for a continuation of severe weather threats next week and likely a wide part of the nation will experience cooler-than-normal conditions for the middle of June.

This unsettled weather pattern will likely result in a decent amount of rainfall for the eastern half of the nation during the next week to ten days which is good news for some areas in the south and east that are still experiencing dry soil conditions.

Nearby high pressure will dominate the weather scene during the next couple of days and then it’ll shift off the coast at mid-week opening the door for some very warm air to move into the Mid-Atlantic along with noticeably higher humidity levels. It’ll also become unsettled for the second half of the week with the possibility of showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday, and Friday could present the chance for severe weather as a strong frontal system arrives.

Temperatures today should reach the upper 80s around here, the lower 90’s on Friday and the low-to-mid 90’s on Saturday. An upper-level trough of low pressure will approach the area later this weekend and bring us the chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday night.

Discussion

High pressure has settled over the Tennessee Valley and it’ll shift to the western Atlantic Ocean over the next few days. This re-positioning of the high pressure will open up the door for much warmer air to push into the Mid-Atlantic region as low-level southwesterly flow develops on the back side of the high pressure system. Temperatures today should approach the 80 degree mark for afternoon highs and then likely reach the mid-to-upper 80’s tomorrow, 90 degrees on Friday and the lower 90’s on Saturday. By later Sunday, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase in the Mid-Atlantic region as low pressure heads in this direction from the Great Lakes. It’ll likely stay unsettled and turn cooler on Monday and Tuesday of next week with a continuing chance of showers.

High pressure will settle over the Tennessee Valley over the next couple of days and then slide to coastal areas by later in the week. This pattern will open up the door for much warmer weather to push into the Mid-Atlantic region as southwesterly flow develops on the back side of the high pressure system.  Temperatures today should hold in the comfortable middle 70’s for afternoon highs and then approach the 80 degree mark on Wednesday. By the end of the work week and first part of the weekend, high temperatures in the lower 90’s will be likely and then the warmth will slacken off a bit on Sunday as clouds and rain chances increase by later in the day. Low pressure will move in this direction from the Great Lakes late in the weekend and it’ll likely stay unsettled on Monday and Tuesday as well with a continuing chance of showers.

Strong high pressure over the Great Lakes will control the weather in our area right into the early part of next week and there will be a cold frontal passage in tonight’s overnight hours. The incoming Canadian air mass for the weekend and early part of next week will be cooler-than-normal for this time of year, but still quite comfortable.

It stays on the unsettled side for another day in the Mid-Atlantic region with mainly cloudy skies, occasional showers, and maybe a thunderstorm…some of the rain can be briefly on the heavy side. High pressure from the Great Lakes will head this way for the late week and dominate the weather picture into early next week and it’ll turn noticeably drier compared to recent days. Temperatures will be cooler-than-normal, but that is on the comfortable side given the time of year and there should be an abundance of sunshine each day from tomorrow through Monday.

Overview

El Nino is on the way, and it looks like it will be a strong event...

The equatorial Pacific Ocean is transitioning into El Nino conditions (i.e., warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures) and signs point to a strong event by the summer and fall seasons with big implications on tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin. Looking ahead, it appears this El Nino event may even last into the upcoming winter season of 2026-2027 which no doubt would have some implications across the continental US.

El Nino on the rise

Water temperatures continue to rise across the tropical Pacific Ocean as very warm water from underneath the surface “bubble” up to the top level. The recent temperature reading in all four El Nino regions (4, 3.4, 3, 1+2) feature above-normal conditions with the greatest difference from normal just off the west coast of South America (i.e., region 1+2). A teleconnection index known as the Southern Oscillation Index or SOI suggests this trend of warming will continue in upcoming days and numerous computer forecast models support this idea. The SOI is the longest lasting teleconnection index that provides us with information on the El Nino Southern Oscillation or ENSO. The SOI factors in the pressure difference between two areas of the Southern Hemisphere – Darwin Australia and Tahiti – and sustained “negative” readings usually is well correlated with the development of intensification of El Nino conditions in the tropical Pacific and recent values suggest water temperatures will continue to rise in coming days.

Impact on the upcoming tropical season in the Atlantic Basin

The rise of El Nino in the tropical Pacific will certainly have some implications on the upcoming tropical season in the Atlantic Basin which officially beings on June 1st. El Nino will likely be a big inhibiting factor to the Atlantic Basin tropical season due to increased subsidence and wind shear (hostile conditions for tropical systems). In addition, sea surface temperatures are actually markedly below-normal in much of the Atlantic Basin from coastal waters of Africa to the Caribbean Sea – also an inhibiting factor to the formation or intensification of tropical activity.

Potential impact on the 2026-2027 winter season

Signs point to the continuation of El Nino conditions as we head into the early part of 2027 which means there can be a big impact next winter across the continental US. However, it is a little too early to have a handle on its magnitude this far ahead and another metric that will need to be determined in coming months is where the most warming will take place relative-to-normal.

An “east-based” El Nino with the warmest water relative-to-normal sitting just off the west coast of South America (as is currently the case) could overwhelm the US with mild Pacific air for next winter. However, a “central-based” event would open the door for some troughiness in the eastern US (and potentially some colder air compared to the “east-based” scenario)...just too early to say. An interesting note, the average of those three strong El Nino events in recent history (i.e., 1982-1983, 1997-1998, 2015-2016) produced much warmer-than-normal conditions in much of the country with the exception being the southwest US. However, a warmer than normal winter does not preclude the chance for big-time snowstorms as was the case in February 1983 during what was an overall warmer winter when a nor’easter pounded the I-95 corridor.

In the wake of a cold frontal passage, today will turn out to be mainly sunny, dry, and mild, but the unsettled weather pattern will bring us another shower threat on Wednesday and there can be a PM thunderstorm as well. The upper-level trough of low pressure that will generate our unsettled weather conditions at mid-week will hang around until the end of the week, but important changes will then take place this weekend. Upper-level ridging of high pressure that has been stuck over the western states in recent days will move eastward and reach the northeastern part of the nation by later in the weekend. In fact, this high pressure system will intensify markedly early next week and this can result in 90+ degree afternoon highs in the Sunday, Monday, Tuesday time period across some portions of the I-95 corridor. The big-time warm up is likely to be a 3-day affair and temperatures should return to more seasonal levels during the middle of next week.

Meteorologist Paul Dorian
Arcfield Weather

Overview

Much of the week ahead will be rather cool and unsettled across the northeastern part of the nation with a persistent upper-level trough of low pressure sitting nearby. This upper air pattern will keep temperatures generally suppressed to below-normal levels in the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US and there will be a shower threat from time-to-time. By the weekend, important changes will take place as the upper-level trough over the northeastern US retreats off to the northeast and an upper-level ridge of high pressure edges its way into the area from the western states. This ridge will intensify early next week, and the result could be 90+ degrees in the Sunday/Monday/Tuesday time period in places along the I-95 corridor. Looking beyond, it appears that the big-time warm up early next week will not last too much longer as a frontal system next mid-week is likely to return temperatures to more seasonal levels.   

Details

The week begins with an upper-level trough of low pressure centered over the Northeast US and a surface front is producing showers across the southern Mid-Atlantic region. This trough will retreat to the north and east on Tuesday allowing for a nice day across the area, but a second upper-level low pressure system will quickly follow at mid-week bringing another batch of showers and generally cooler-than-normal temperatures. This second upper-level trough will stick around in the Northeast US into the late week, but then it’ll retreat to the northeast this weekend as high-pressure ridging builds into the area. This upper-level ridge is currently stuck over the western states, but a pattern change will not only allow for it to push eastward, but it’ll also intensify early next week.

As a result of the intensifying upper-level ridge, temperatures in the northeastern part of the nation will climb noticeably on Saturday with 80+ degrees likely in places like Washington, D.C. Temperatures will then soar in the Sunday/Monday/Tuesday time period of next week with 90+ degrees on the table across much of the I-95 corridor....well above normal for mid-May. Looking ahead, it appears that this big-time warmup will be a 3-day affair, but then likely come to an end in the middle of next week as a frontal system passes through the eastern states and brings more seasonal temperatures. The cold front could be quite an active system during the middle of next week with strong thunderstorms a possibility.
