More heat in the wake of the storm...

Barry brought much-needed rain...

Barry's remnants brought more rain to some places on Sunday than had been observed during the entire month of May. Here at the WTVR studios, we recorded 1.45" of rain...and during May, we received 1.71". It was even drier in Northern Virginia, where Dulles airport received only 0.34" of rain in May, the driest on record going back to 1962.

Anyway, Barry was responsible for some impressive rainfall totals up and down the East Coast. Here are the highest totals we've received from various states:

FLORIDA West Palm Beach Int'l Airport 6.99"
GEORGIA Mount Vernon 8.00"
S. CAROLINA Hardeeville 6.12"
N. CAROLINA Fuquay-Varina 3.73"
VIRGINIA Pennington Gap 3.75"
MARYLAND Frostburg 1.75"
PENNSYLVANIA Philadelphia Int'l Airport 1.66"
DELAWARE Dover Air Force Base 1.54"
NEW JERSEY Absecon 4.50"
NEW YORK New York--Central Park 3.91"
CONNECTICUT Berlin 2.90"
MASSACHUSETTS Taunton 3.19"
RHODE ISLAND Burrillville 3.10"
NEW HAMPSHIRE Newmarket 2.75"
MAINE Saco 2.64"

More heat on the way...

Here in Central Virginia, we've got another very warm day on tap for Tuesday. There is the possibility for a few pop-up storms later in the afternoon, as a front approaches from the west. This front will bring a little lower humidity for Wednesday. However, the heat and steamy conditions will return by the end of the week, heading into the weekend. Temperatures will likely climb into the 90s on Friday and could stay above 90 for highs over the weekend. There will be another front approaching the region by the weekend, and that could kick off a few scattered afternoon storms each day. It's typical for fronts to have a hard time getting very far south of here at this time of the year, and this one will be no exception.
