Weather forecast overview for the Southeast United States
A progressive weather pattern will allow changing weather conditions across the northern third of the United States, including the Northeast through next week.
"The Northeastern states will remain in a weather battle zone between chilly air dipping southward from Canada and very warm air trying to surge northward from the Southern states into next week," according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Maura Kelly.
Record heat surged into parts of the region on Thursday. Lynchburg, Virginia, tied its 1895 daily record of 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
However, cool air expanded from New England and upstate New York on Thursday to the mid-Atlantic and central Appalachians on Friday.
After temperatures peaking in the 80s and 90s on Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures peaking in the 60s and 70s felt refreshing to some and chilly to others.
On Saturday, a breeze is forecast to develop from the south and southeast over much of the region. This will cause humidity levels to rise, along with temperatures in many areas. High temperatures will generally be in the 70s and 80s. However, there may be stubborn areas of low clouds that may hold temperatures back at the local level.
As a storm system approaches from the northwest, a swath of showers and thunderstorms is likely to erupt and advance from the Appalachians and eastern Great Lakes to the Atlantic coast on Saturday.
Football fans heading to games during the afternoon and evening should check the forecast as they may need to bring plastic ponchos depending on the timing of the downpours versus their game.
The air moving in behind the Saturday storm system is not entirely of Canada origin.
The sun will quickly go to work and bring about a significant warmup in the mid-Atlantic and along the New England coast with highs mainly in the 80s on Sunday and Monday. Patchy clouds across the interior may hold temperatures back and could even produce spotty showers.
Clouds and showers may also be slow to leave the mid-Atlantic and southeastern coast of New England as well.While an area of high pressure is forecast to build over the region during the early and middle part of next week in the Northeast, the track of Tropical Depression Nine currently near the southern Bahamas may hold the key for whether or not warm and dry conditions continue or if the weather turns stormy in the Northeast later next week and next weekend.
A second tropical system over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean also bears watching for potential trouble later in September.
