DAYS 1-5 (JULY 4-8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy 250th to the USA! While I think the majority of locations planning fireworks celebrations this evening will get them in without much difficulty, mother nature may try to put on her own fireworks show in some locations. It’ll come down to the details of thunderstorm development and movement of storms as we move through afternoon into evening. I’m still of the opinion that the majority of our region will deal with little or no significant activity, but there can be some scattered heavier showers and storms around, primarily from mid afternoon to very early evening from north to south. Some short range guidance has indicated a couple additional showers and storms can be in the region into early tonight, but I’m leaning away from this information being correct, as I have seen quite a few similar errors in this guidance of late (some of it is still in experimental mode). So I’ll lean optimistic for the evening hours when we start to see an air mass change from the hot and fairly humid one we’ve had into a less hot and less humid one that will make our Sunday quite nice. After that we turn our attention to the front that went by, as it will slow down and come to a stop just south of our region and be the focus for an area of low pressure moving along it early next week. Based on current expectation, I think our greatest chance to see additional rainfall will be south of I-90 on Monday and more widespread in the region for Tuesday. This should taper off with just a few lingering showers Wednesday as the low pressure wave departs. Tomorrow’s blog update will focus a little more on the Monday through Wednesday time frame. In the mean time, stay cool, hydrated, and safe today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
