DAYS 1-5 (JULY 7-11)

Low pressure passing south of our region, in combination with high pressure in eastern Canada, gives our region a wet and cool day. Widespread rain and drizzle is expected with some pockets of heavier rain and the chance of some embedded thunder, though the latter will be a vast exception and not the rule. This system departs to the east with rainfall tapering off tonight. Clouds may linger early on Wednesday, especially in eastern areas, but sunshine will return and it will end up being quite a nice day. The high pressure area sinks to the south and it heats up a bit for Thursday but with continued dry weather. A cold front swings through the region on Friday bringing the chance for showers and thunderstorms before drier and slightly cooler air arrives behind the front for the start of the weekend.
