Mid-week heat wave to hit PJM East, with mid-90s in lower Mid-Atlantic

↳ Why This Matters

Heat waves can significantly increase electricity demand for cooling, potentially impacting natural gas consumption for power generation and influencing energy prices. The juxtaposition of potential cooler waters enhancing onshore flow and a mid-week heat burst suggests a complex near-term weather pattern for the East Coast. Separately, a non-tropical low-pressure system is forecast for the west-central Atlantic.

Models have shown for a while - while it may look a little interesting on satellite later this week, a low pressure system that will form should be totally non-tropical in the west-central Atlantic. Will have fronts attached. More like a winter-time system. https://t.co/nrBG0lPMrA@NbergWX via PiQSuite
