Atmospheric Traffic Jam Brings Unusual Weather To Northeastern US

Heat will build across the north, not the south, which is the opposite of what typically happens in a pattern like this week. ACCUWEATHER

An atmospheric traffic jam will bring a wide variety of weather conditions to the northeastern United States this week, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

Parts of the region will be faced with building heat later this week while cooler air and showers target areas farther south. Additionally, smoke from ongoing Canadian wildfires will become trapped at higher levels of the atmosphere and lead to hazy conditions.
