A further increase in heat and humidity will follow for Thursday and Friday as the high drifts off the Mid Atlantic Coast and a southwesterly flow develops. High temperatures this afternoon will be a few degrees either side of normal, ranging from the low to mid 70s across the higher terrain of Northern and Western Pennsylvania to the low 80s in the Southeastern PA Metro Areas. Lows tonight under mainly clear skies with a light southwest breeze will range through the 50s. A cold frontal passage on Friday will spark a round or two of showers and scattered thunderstorms, some of which could become strong to severe and produce gusty winds, frequent lightning and hail. An expansive dome of high pressure at the surface and aloft, extending from the Southern Plains and Mid Mississippi Valley to the Mid Atlantic Region, will bring an increased risk of excessive heat early next week with highs in the 80s and 90s and heat index values possibly exceeding 100F. $$
