DAYS 1-5 (JULY 6-10)
Trough passes through this morning followed by a cold front midday and afternoon. Most of the moisture and energy for showers and thunderstorms is with the trough with less available for the front so the majority of the activity should be taking place before noon for a good portion of the region but will take until mid afternoon to pass through all of the southeastern areas before exiting. This marks an end to the current spell of heat and humidity and will be followed by a refreshing air mass through the weekend. Some heat returns early next week but without humidity getting all that high, though it will be a little more humid by Tuesday. Forecast details…
