It’s one hot, humid and oppressive afternoon throughout the Lower Midwest, Ohio Valley and Northeast with temps soaring well into the 90s and for some, the low 100s. A cold front drapped over New England is slowly creeping south, feeding off the heat and humidity flowing northeast around an offshore Bermuda high. Along this front, strong to severe […]

We all know just how wet it’s been but with signs of warmer air building over the upcoming weekend and into early next week, can this provide us with a level of optimism that our weather may in fact […]
