Beautiful weekend, heating up starting on Sunday

We're enjoying a pleasant day, under sunny skies, with some lingering elevated haze from the Canadian wildfires.

A warming trend will take hold later in the weekend, as high pressure becomes established over the Mid-Atlantic region, initiating a southwesterly flow of very warm and moderately humid air that will push readings up to 90 degrees or higher much of the coming week.

Chances for seeing isolated showers or storms are slight, associated with a few weak disturbances in a west-northwest flow over the top of an expansive heat dome in the Central states. A cold front will make a dent in the heat next weekend, resulting in a cooldown.
