Synopsis:
The heat wave will continue for one more day as the heat dome over the Mid-Atlantic weakens. Thursday will be day 8 of the heat wave for most areas and our stretch of 90º+ will end on Friday. It’s about time.
An area of low pressure on Friday will give the area a decent shot of showers and storms with cooler readings.
The better half of the weekend looks to be Saturday as another weak low may give the region showers and storms on Sunday. Sunday forecast isn’t clear cut at this time it could be rain-free. Stay tuned.

Mostly clear. Lows in the lower to mid 70s in the City, 60º-70ºinland. South wind at 5mph.
Thursday:
