DAYS 1-5 ( JULY 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve been eyeing Wednesday & Thursday as two unsettled days this week. Still the case. A warm front will approach and slowly cross the region today and tonight. The main threat of showers (and risk of thunder) will be early to mid morning today and then a second batch will make a run at the region this evening. Any time between that there could be an isolated shower or storm developing, and the atmosphere’s set-up today is one where we do have to keep an eye on any isolated storms that form, as they have the potential to become super cell storms, which can carry a higher risk of producing damaging wind and\/or larger hail. DO NOT expect this as any kind of outbreak as it won’t be that – but the risk is there so must watch. Thursday we will find ourselves in a soupy airmass with much higher humidity, and any sun that comes out will not only make it feel more uncomfortable but will also fuel the development of showers and thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front. My initial thought is that the greatest threat for these will take place from the second half of the afternoon to the early evening and favor areas near and south of I-90. However, this does not mean that other areas will be immune to the threat, and everyone should be aware that storms may occur, and they could be strong. Once the front pushes through by early Friday morning, initially it won’t get that far to the south, and enough moisture coming along it will likely at least hold cloudiness in the region for a time during Friday, and even the threat of a few showers, especially in southern portions of the region. Expect clearing later Friday as high pressure pushes in, which will provide nice weather for Saturday as well. This high will sink to the south by Sunday and open the door for a spike in humidity and a bit of heat, but the shower and thunderstorm risk that appeared to be present for Sunday previously may hold off as the disturbance that would bring the threat may be slower-moving and not approach until at least later Sunday night…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 27-31)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A series of disturbances moving northwest to southeast across the region bring a daily opportunity for showers and thunderstorms July 27-29 with variable temperatures not departing all that far from normal overall. Uncertainty at this time for the July 30-31 period with medium range guidance split in vastly differing scenarios, one of which puts low pressure just south of the region and high pressure to the north – a cool\/damp set-up, while another brings a drier westerly air flow in. The second scenario is favored based on climatology as well as a better performance by the model predicting it of late. This outlook is low confidence and subject to change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 1-5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless of the scenario to end July, looking for a fairly zonal mid summer pattern, seasonably warm to hot weather and a couple shower and thunderstorm opportunities in the early days of August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
