4th of July Weekend Forecast

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!


LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND???? WELL, WE HAVE THE COMPLETE FORECAST FOR THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. 

Today will be another spectacular day with plenty of sunshine, highs in the low to mid 80s, and dew-points in the low to mid 50s. However, I must point out that with a low pressure system still located near Nova Scotia, and an upper-level trough axis still carved out over eastern Canada and much of New England... The interaction between the daytime heating and some colder than normal air aloft may generate enough instability to cause a pop-up shower or thunderstorm in areas north and east of the City this afternoon. Our UV Index will be standing at 10 today, which is very high. Be ready to have the sunscreen today as you start your holiday travel. 

Tomorrow will actually be one of the best days of the 4th of July weekend. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s with some thermometers reaching 90 deg. The chance of precip will be only around 10%. There will be plenty of sunshine with a UV index of 10 once again....so don't forget the sunscreen! 

Sunday will feature a better chance of thunderstorms in our viewing area. The chance of precip will generally be between 40-60%. There will be sunshine, however with a UV index of 9, so even with the chance of thunderstorms, you will still need the sunscreen. We have adjusted Sunday's forecast somewhat. It now looks like on the models between yesterday and today, the chance of seeing a severe storm should be higher. We could see drenching downpours, wind gusts reaching 50 mph, and maybe even some small hail. We will have the key ingredients to fuel thunderstorms.....an approaching cold front, hot and humid temperatures, and the vigorous jet stream dynamics associated with the cold front. 

The 4th of July Forecast has also been adjusted somewhat like Sunday's was. We're now thinking the timing previously mentioned on some of these storms could be too fast. The front could be potentially 6-12 hours slower than originally forecasted. If that happens, some areas could still encounter scattered thunderstorms for the 4th of July. Otherwise, we will have sunshine with temperatures in the upper 80s to 90 deg. We will have a UV index of 10, so just like all the other days of the holiday weekend, bring the sunscreen! More details to come in the near-future.


HAVE A GREAT 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
