DAYS 1-5 (JUNE 29 \u2013 JULY 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next 5 days will be a good example of the range of temperatures we can see in the summertime, with a hot spell peaking today, backing off ever-so-slightly tomorrow, then ending as July arrives landing us on the cooler end of the spectrum by the end of the work week \/ start of the holiday weekend. Our Bermuda High continues to pump the heat and humidity into the region today. The atmosphere this afternoon will be very slightly more unstable than it was yesterday, so there is a slightly better chance that some isolated shower and thunderstorm activity will occur in the WHW forecast area this afternoon, where it stayed well west and north of the area yesterday. Most locations see nothing of the kind, but those who do can experience a torrential downpour and of course lightning as the cell peaks. These tend to last a short-time before raining themselves out. So while they are not highly likely, be on the look-out if you are out and about this afternoon. And most importantly, remember your heat precautions and safety measures! A cold front will be getting closer to the region later Wednesday, which will still be a hot and humid day, but with a better chance of at least scattered to possibly linear or segmented lines of showers and thunderstorms developing and arriving in the region later in the day. A slightly slower front would keep this activity mostly to the west and north – something to watch. The initial frontal boundary does get into the area Thursday, but in a dissipating state, and that day will still be humid though not as hot, with a pop up shower or thunderstorm possible with some solar heating. Later in the day expect more substantial cloud cover to take over as we start to see another front coming down from the northwest while some overrunning of tropical moisture starts to take place over the air mass boundaries. Some of this moisture will be from what was called a tropical storm as it quickly formed and made landfall in the US Southeast Monday. This could help produce a period of widespread and potentially heavy shower activity Thursday night and part of Friday, before it pulls away and we’re just left with some lingering showers favoring southern areas Friday, and much cooler air. High pressure from Canada is expected to have enough push to dry the region out but keep it on the cool side for the start of the holiday weekend on Saturday. There is still some medium range guidance that highly disagrees with this scenario, keeping the weather wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea of high pressure from Canada coming down over the weekend remains, and if it’s correct we should see mostly fair weather and slight warming for July 4, but some upper level low pressure not far away can trigger some afternoon showers and thunderstorms. A shot of heat and a little higher humidity for July 5 which is counting as the holiday for some, along with a chance of showers and thunderstorms later as a front approaches from the west. If the timing of that system is slower, we’d get by that day without a real storm threat and the next day (July 6) would be more unsettled, followed by a drying trend by the middle of next week. Confidence on this time period is lower than average, so check updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Near to above normal temperatures and an increase in humidity but with somewhat limited shower and thunderstorm chances. to start then increased later in the period as a frontal boundary to the north starts to drift southward into the region.
