Moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Chantal is set to influence the weather conditions as the week begins, bringing high humidity, cloud coverage, and an increased chance of showers. On Monday morning, rain chances will rise, but the wet weather is expected to ease in the afternoon, allowing for clearer skies as the day progresses.
Although severe weather isn’t anticipated, localized heavy rain could lead to isolated flooding, particularly along the Chesapeake Bay, where Flood Watches are in effect from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Overnight temperatures will remain mild and humid, dipping into the 70s, with the potential for areas of patchy fog.
Tuesday is projected to be the hottest day of the week, with highs reaching the low to mid-90s. The combination of heat and humidity will create heat index values between 100-105 during the afternoon. Additionally, a cold front approaching the area will bring about rain and storms late in the day, carrying the risk of heavy downpours and flash flooding, as well as potential damaging wind gusts, making it essential to monitor weather alerts.
As the cold front lingers over the region, scattered thunderstorms are anticipated to continue into Wednesday, with a possibility of strong storms accompanied by gusty winds and flash flooding.
