Severe weather will be possible from Tennessee to Maine, with the strongest storms expected in a zone from eastern Maryland to central Vermont.
AccuWeather Global Weather Center – July 12, 2022 – Following a dry weekend and start to the week across the Northeast, AccuWeather forecasters say hot weather is set to build over the region. As the thermometer increases, humidity levels are expected to trend upward as well, making the conditions feel even hotter than in recent days and supplying fuel for showers and thunderstorms.
This past weekend, the Northeast was treated to a stretch of cool weather by summer standards. In Washington, D.C., the temperature on Saturday topped out at 77 F, well below the average high of 90 F for the date. This was followed up by highs in the low to mid-80s on Sunday and Monday. To the north in Boston, temperatures were limited to 75 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday, 7 degrees below the average high for the date.
A big change in the weather pattern will unfold over the Northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday as the jet stream lifts northward, allowing temperatures to climb. Some locations may have temperatures 10 degrees higher than Monday.
“High pressure that provided more comfortable, average conditions the past few days will exit eastward in favor of more heat and humidity Tuesday into Wednesday,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Rinde explained.
