June 20th, 2011 Forecast

 A weak front essentially provided a block on advancing showers and storms last night and today.  While rain is still somewhat needed in spots, the block is providing for a pretty nice Father's Day.   That weak frontal boundary will fizzle out as a push of heat advances up the East Coast for midweek.   In that transition back to heat, scattered thunderstorms will hang with us tomorrow night and Tuesday before lifting north of the city (this is still not a complete lock) for Wednesday.

Tonight will feature comfortable sleeping weather with light winds, mostly clear skies, and temperatures in the 50's in the coolest burbs and in the 60's in the city.   Monday features mostly sunny skies, perhaps trending a touch cloudier in the afternoon as thunderstorms may advance towards the region.   Those storms could pass through parts or all of the region Monday night.   Highs tomorrow will be in the mid 80's inland, mid/upper 70's at the Shore as winds nudge to the south.

Week Ahead:   Tuesday features some passing thunderstorms, perhaps lingering from Monday night's activity.   Wednesday and Thursday will be very warm, with Wednesday the hotter of the two as temperatures crack 90 in many spots.   Thursday will feature the passage of a cool front that slows down as it slides through, with lingering thunder possible into Friday before the front gets out of here for the weekend.   As of now, next weekend looks quite good.
