July 1st, 2011 Forecast

This stretch of weather has been pretty much picture perfect by summer standards -- modest humidity, tolerable temperatures, with not many folks hatin' on the weather!   We have one more good day before things warm up for the 4th of July weekend...and yes, the 90's will return for a few days, perhaps as many as five in a row.   That heat stretch doesn't look terrible considering the highs will probably just nudge 90 on most of the five and perhaps could come up short next Tuesday and/or Wednesday.   I'm getting ahead of myself though -- we'll talk more about the upcoming warmth later on tonight.

The weather for tonight and tomorrow looks great -- lows tonight between 58 and 65 locally with light winds and mostly clear skies, highs on Friday in the mid 80's with mostly sunny skies and low humidity.  The Shore should reach the low 80's since the wind is primarily offshore.

Weekend Sneak Peek:   The warm up will bring 90's for the 4th of July weekend, with a trough/weak cool front sliding down from Canada with a decent thunder threat on Sunday afternoon and evening.  There could be a pop up storm on Saturday afternoon but odds are favoring most of us staying dry.   Sunday's storms could be strong if not severe -- we'll update those chances as we go through the weekend.  The 4th looks dry for now with lowering humidity but temperatures should approach or hit 90 in most spots on Monday as well.
