Here is my best guess at the weather pattern and resultant day-by-day weather through the first week of July.<\/p>\n
The battle between a high pressure ridge over the western Atlantic Ocean and low pressure trough centered near the Great Lakes will continue through the first 2 days of July, with a retrograding ridge eventually being the victor. The result will be mild to warm air, high humidity, and episodes of scattered showers and thunderstorms through early Tuesday, though many areas will see lengthy stretches with no rain. The wettest times are most likely to be the early hours of Monday, late Monday night, and very early Tuesday.<\/p>\n
High pressure will continue to drift westward over the western\u00a0 Atlantic and US East Coast through much of next week, only weakening a little as disturbances try to ride over the top of it from the west by the first weekend of July. The overall pattern for this area will become hotter and continued humid. Shower and thunderstorm activity will be isolated to scattered at best.<\/p>\n
