The heatwave that impacted parts of the region from as early as Wednesday through Sunday is done, but the humid pattern is not going anywhere during the coming week. Though a weak trough will dominate, this trough sits between a ridge to the west and a rebuilding ridge in the western Atlantic, and with no real push of dry air available from Canada, the humidity level will remain rather high right through the next 7 days. It won’t be as hot because of the lack of ridging and limited sunshine through at least the end of the work week. By sometime next weekend, another retrogression or westward movement of high pressure from the Atlantic may heat the region up again. Some signs point to another potential heatwave resulting but not until sometime the following week. We’ll also be eyeing an early-season system in the tropics for development and eventual track.<\/p>\n
