DAYS 1-5 (JULY 17-21)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One more day in this current stretch of heat and humidity today, but we mark a coming transition with a chance of passing showers and thunderstorms from both a weakening disturbance (late morning to mid afternoon) and a cold front (late afternoon through early evening). Despite some parameters for strong to isolated severe thunderstorms, there exists several parameters limiting such activity, so a little atmospheric struggle ensues and my forecast reflects this by just keeping it as chance of showers and storms with a fairly low risk of isolated severe thunderstorms. Nevertheless, all it takes is one, so keep an eye on the radar through evening. After the cold front goes by, the chance is by the boards, and a cooler, drier air mass arrives overnight. Friday is going to be quite different than I was thinking just a few days ago, when my forecast was for slower timing. Instead of higher humidity and showers\/thunderstorms around, it’s just going to be a day of sun and passing clouds, low humidity, and seasonably warm weather – maybe a bit reminiscent of what we saw July 4. High pressure builds in Friday night and Saturday with fair, pleasant weather. A quick-moving disturbance and cold front will bring a round or two of showers and thunderstorms to the region sometime during the first 12 hours of Sunday (but probably only lasting a couple to a few hours in any given location). Timing on this will be nailed down in the next couple updates. Another Canadian air mass arrives Sunday afternoon to be with us through Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
