In wake of a weekend with low humidity and comfortable weather, heat and humidity will make a return in a big way this week.
"The hottest weather of the year will spread from the Ohio Valley to the mid-Atlantic states Tuesday into Wednesday," Expert Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.
Initially, it will become very warm and more humid on Monday.
Monday's warmth will be followed by the hottest weather of the year on Tuesday and Wednesday, when highs reach the mid-90s.
The high humidity accompanying the heat will push AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures over 100 F during the afternoons.
"AccuWeather RealFeel temperatures could approach 110 F when there is little or no wind, especially Wednesday," said Anderson.
The hottest it has been in Washington D.C., this year was 92 F, reached twice on May 13 and 27.

Limit your outdoor activities and seek shade or air conditioning when possible during the peak of the heat. Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Relief will also come from some cooling showers and thunderstorms which will be most prevalent during the afternoons and evenings this week.
However, if you hear thunder, seek shelter.
A high pressure system over the Southeast will be responsible for the upcoming hot weather. The heat and humidity will persist into the latter part of the week with highs still in the low 90s Thursday and Friday.
