DAYS 1-5 (JULY 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today will be a very warm to hot day with moderate to high humidity, and a trough and cold front moving through the region from west to east will trigger at least scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, ending from west to east in the early evening. The showers and storms should take the form of 1 or 2 general lines, but there should be scattered to at maximum broken coverage along them. Even though there are some limiting factors, there is enough moisture, instability, and heat present to allow at least a couple of thunderstorms to become severe, with a threat of larger hail and damaging wind gusts. Any thunderstorm can produce downpours and dangerous lightning, so if you have outdoor plans, be weather-aware. Tonight, a dry Canadian air mass arrives, and high pressure builds into the region for Friday, Independence Day, with low humidity, lots of sun, a few clouds, and seasonably warm air. It may even feel a bit cool in the shade with a breeze blowing as dew point temps will be quite low for July. The nighttime will be perfect for celebrations \/ fireworks displays – you may even need a light jacket! High pressure will be overhead early Saturday then slide offshore through Sunday. This keeps our weather fair through the weekend, but with an increase in heat and humidity so that it will be quite noticeable by Sunday. Hot, humid weather will continue Monday as high pressure sits offshore and a cold front is slow to approach from the northwest, likely holding its influence to just some increase in clouds from upstream showers and thunderstorms late-day or at night. One caveat for Monday though: There will be a trough and low pressure offshore to our south and Monday which may play a part in helping to develop a distinct South Coast sea breeze boundary, which can sometimes be a trigger for convection, so although it’s “day 5”, keep in mind that a couple pop up showers or thunderstorms can result from this set-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (JULY 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
July 8 looks like a warm, humid, unsettled day with shower and thunderstorm chances as a cold front moves into and across the region. Middle of next week looks less humid and fair weather high pressure moving in. Late next week looks more humid with a few showers and thunderstorms possible as high pressure moves out and a weak trough arrives – details TBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (JULY 13-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not much change from the uncertain \/ low confidence mid July outlook. Summarizing what I wrote yesterday: Recent guidance indicates a fairly typical summer look to the upper pattern with the jet stream to the north in Canada, south of that a weak ridge of high pressure near and off the US East Coast, a trough of low pressure Great Lakes \/ Midwest, and a ridge of high pressure out West. For us this pattern is mostly dry but with a couple episodes of showers and thunderstorms, warm to borderline hot at times but no persistent extreme heat. There continue to be some hints of a stronger look to the jet stream to the north later in the period that could indicate a shift to a pattern more driven by that getting ready to take place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
