DAYS 1-5 (JULY 20-24)
\nSparing you a long discussion today and putting a short summary in this place instead. You know all about the weekend heat, and here it is. All that’s left is to see what the numbers turn out to be. Besides the usual cautions with heat, we’ll watch for thunderstorms later Sunday afternoon and evening as a cold front approaches. It’s not a great set-up for severe weather here but any time you have storms breaking heat there is always the chance of at least an isolated one may contain severe weather. It looks like the front will move far enough south to easily break the heat by Monday, but a wave of low pressure on it will bring unsettled weather later Monday into at least early Tuesday. How deep into Tuesday it stays that way will depend on the speed of the low pressure area and how quickly it can pull the front back to the south after rippling it back to the north Monday night and early Tuesday. Once we get to Wednesday, we’re back in the dry air, but fairly refreshing air from Canada. We may have to watch for some pop up clouds due to colder air above after the sun heats the ground and sends thermals skyward. Not sure if this can develop any showers yet but will watch it.

\nWeak high pressure controls the weather July 25-26 with mainly dry weather but we may have to watch a sea breeze boundary for a possible trigger of a shower or thunderstorm each day.
