DAYS 1-5 (JULY 14-18)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We take one more step toward a more classic summer feel today but we’re not quite there yet. After a fairly overcast day with a few showers moving through yesterday, last night we saw the formation of fog in much of the region as the temperature which was already on the cooler side met a rising dew point. Today, they both rise further, and it’ll be tough to break up both the fog and the cloud cover, but while many areas do eventually lose the fog as the temperature out-rises the dew point, the dew point will climb high enough so that you’ll notice it. What happens during the day today to our west is that a disturbance moving eastward will trigger some pretty decent thunderstorms, which will make it into western portions of the WHW forecast area later today into this evening. What happens from there is dependent on how much daytime heating we can manage further east. Glancing at the short range set of models, I see a variety of outcomes, with some of them killing the convection completely while others hold onto scattered but weaker showers\/storms as they move eastward. I’m basically playing this in the middle today with the chance of some scattered to isolated activity making it all the way east, but in much weaker form than it started out. Finally we get back into the typical feel of summer for Thursday through Saturday as high pressure builds offshore and aloft as well, setting up warm to hot and fairly humid conditions, though a westerly breeze (vs. southerly today) may help dry us out slightly on Thursday, at least in terms of the dew point going down a bit. It may not be that noticeable as it will be warmer \/ hotter. The dew point creeps back up Friday into Saturday, not to astronomical levels, but certainly humid enough. I’m not thinking the chances of isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms are really there at all Thursday, as I was yesterday, but keeping them in the forecast for Friday, again very low coverage. Saturday, as a cold front approaches, the chance of showers and storms increase. That front is likely to struggle its way through the region during Sunday, which will be unsettled with additional showers and storms around as it stands now…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 19-23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few days of mainly dry weather are expected with a westerly air flow aloft and high pressure in control at the surface for the early to mid portion of next week before the next frontal system brings higher humidity and a shower\/thunderstorm threat after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 24-28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trend to less active weather in terms of shower and storm threats, still present but less prominent with overall drier with mostly seasonable summer warmth, maybe a hotter day or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
