Stormy Weather - Cool 4th?

Good Morning!

(Note:  I'm trying out a slight formatting change suggested to me by Brian Ivey of Neoweather.com - I'm putting the forecast graphics closer to the text, as opposed to a "TV style" look where you get all of it at the end - tell me what you think...)

The end of the week is in sight, and along with it, summertime heat and humidity!  Let's have a look and see what's on tap:

WARMER AND MORE HUMID:  That says it all, temperatures will reach into the mid 80's, with some spots even getting into the upper 80's.  Ridging is building in and southeasterly winds are pulling warm, moist air up this way from further south - that gets even more steamy as winds turn southwesterly for the weekend. Computer forecast data has dew point values into the 70's in some cases, which will make for damp, steamy conditions around the area!  Using an air temperature of 85 against a 70 degree dew point, the heat index value gets to 90!  This will be a good weekend to get near a pool or lake.  Pretty quiet for the next day or two though, which means:



WEEKEND HUMIDITY MEANS STORMS BREWING:  The increased humidity this weekend will likely result in some scattered showers and thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday.  Of the two days, Sunday definitely looks like the better of the two as far as rain and storms go.  We'll see about a 6 in 10 shot at rain Sunday, and while I don't see any sever in the cards just now, with so much humidity forecast to be in the air, plenty of rain and strong storms are definitely on the table.  With that in mind, Saturday looks like this:


LOOKING DOWN THE LINE:  The Six Day Planner shows quite the cool down headed into the 4th Of July.  Your fireworks should be rain-free and comfy, with readings a touch below normal.  Here's my forecast:

I hope you have a great day!  Blessings.
