DAYS 1-5 (JULY 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s the climatological hottest time of the year, and we’ll be talking about heat, right on schedule. For many locations, a solid heatwave is underway. Several locations, especially coastal areas, may escape it with a day or two during the next 5 failing to reach 90. Our saving grace is that the dew point, while high enough to make it “humid”, will stay below the threshold of “oppressive” most of the time, only reaching it Thursday and later Sunday as it looks now. Much of the other time, we have enough air mixing going on to bring drier air down from aloft via the down-slope effect so that most of if not all of the WHW forecast area keeps dew points below 70, and in the case of Friday, behind a cold front, down around 60. That cold front represents our only real chance of any rainfall during the next few days, in the form of showers and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and evening. Some of these can be strong to locally severe, but right now the coverage looks as if it may be limited. This will be monitored and fine-tuned during the next 48+ hours. The next shot of some shower and thunderstorm activity would be later Sunday with the approach of another front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 25-29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cold front passes with a chance of showers\/thunderstorms early July 25, then drying and seasonably warm weather later July 25 through July 27. Increasing heat and humidity later in the period along with a chance of showers and thunderstorms by the end of the period, projecting timing of features several days in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
