DAYS 1-5 (JULY 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wet pattern: Gone. Frequently high humidity: Gone (for now). Wildfire smoke: Mostly gone. The pattern change we’ve talked about is well-underway, and essentially complete. This new pattern won’t last forever either, but it will be with us long enough to dry out nicely in the days ahead, despite the fact that we still have to deal with a couple disturbances and shower chances. But first, high pressure from Canada brings us our nicest day in quite some time today. You’ll notice the sky a deeper shade of blue as the smoke plume that was passing through has moved off to the southeast, and the next area of smoke stays well to the west, at least through Friday before we may have to deal with some of it once again at some point over the weekend. A disturbance will pass through the region Friday and combined with daytime heating will likely generate diurnal showers, which look like they will be only isolated in coverage, but could produce brief localized downpours in some locations, but this is still an improvement over what we’ve had. This will be followed by another Canadian high pressure area and more great weather Saturday. Our west northwesterly air flow will bring the next disturbance toward the region for Sunday into Monday, a warm front \/ cold front combo. The warm front will move across the region Sunday with a lot of clouds and a round or two of showers, though that day will be far from a “rainy day” as there will be dry times too. The cold front moves through sometime during the first half of Monday based on current timing, and may bring a few showers and thunderstorms, but again this looks like a much lower coverage event than many we had seen before. Higher humidity will accompany the unsettled weather Sunday-Monday, but not looking for oppressive conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
