DAYS 1-5 (JULY 1-5)
No big changes, just a few adjustments to yesterday’s post. Slight, and I mean very slight, weakening of the westward push of the boundary but it will still create a wind shift and some cooling later today, and this will actually take all the way until early Tuesday to reverse itself, so the heat potential for Monday is somewhat tempered as well. Tempted to introduce isolated air mass storms Tuesday and Wednesday but will hold off for now. Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Highs 79-86 shoreline and 87-95 elsewhere but falling back through the 70s immediate coast and through the 80s for up to about 20 miles inland from east-facing shores during the afternoon. Wind NW up to 10 MPH shifting to E and NE.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 65-71. Wind light E.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 78-85 immediate shore, 86-94 interior. Wind light E to SE becoming S late.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 60s to upper 70s, warmest urban areas. Highs from the upper 80s to middle 90s, coolest coastal areas.
WEDNESDAY – INDEPENDENCE DAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 60s to upper 70s. Highs from the upper 80s to middle 90s but cooler in some coastal areas.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 60s to upper 70s. Highs from the upper 80s to middle 90s but cooler in some coastal areas.

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 6-10)
Indications of a little quicker timing of a front that can bring a thunderstorm threat by later July 6 after one more hot and humid day. Weekend of July 7-8 currently looks less hot, still warm, and drier, with similar weather July 9 before a disturbance brings a shower and thunderstorm threat by the end of the period. Timing uncertain as always so far in advance.

DAYS 11-15 (JULY 11-15)
A couple passing disturbances bring changeable but overall seasonable temperatures and a couple thunderstorm threats during this period. The pattern will feature the ridge of high pressure having backed up to the west and a weak trough in the Northeast carrying the disturbances.
