DAYS 1-5 (JULY 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No big changes in the overall picture heading into and through the weekend. We’re looking at high pressure – The Bermuda High – still in place while a trough of low pressure hangs out nearby on the periphery of the high pressure area’s circulation. This set-up is a warm to hot and humid one, although a busy breeze and a slight reduction in humidity yesterday took the edge off that. We don’t get especially hot today or Saturday while the humidity remains rather high, and there will be a breeze too – though not as gusty as the last couple days. We’ll also look at some shower threats, but no long-lasting period of wet weather. Today’s threat looms until around midday for areas mostly south of I-90 with a narrow ribbon of moisture allowing for some pop up shower development. This shifts to more of an isolated air mass pop-up situation this afternoon, with less coverage but the potential for a few isolated torrential downpours including thunder. Most areas will not see these, so if you have outdoor plans go about them, but keep an eye on the sky \/ radar. On Saturday, a disturbance rippling up the flow enhances the shower and thunderstorm potential for the first 2\/3 of the day but this then ends from west to east during the afternoon as a boundary with drier air arrives. This lower dew point air will be evident at night and on Sunday, despite it still being a very warm day on Sunday, with abundant sun. Early next week, humidity makes a comeback but may do so with a flare up of thunderstorms on Monday before we have a more tranquil but hot and humid day Tuesday. Details to be worked out…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A more westerly air flow dominates. This drives a frontal system through with thunderstorm chances a little earlier than previously expected – window July 17 into July 18 – timing to be pinned down more specifically. Fair, seasonably warm and lower humidity weather July 19-20. Next unsettled weather may arrive late in the period as higher humidity makes a return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 22-26)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A westerly air flow allows some up and down temperatures and a couple shower \/ thunderstorm threats, but overall typical late July weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
