That stubborn upper low over the eastern
great lakes will slowly fill and drift
east today but not fast enough to allow
more areas of showers to drop from north
to south-southeast into parts of the
area. Again not heavy but pesky. A nice
4th of July weekend is on tap with
temperatures a few degrees below normal
but still very nice with highs mainly in
the lower 70's north to upper 70's to
possible 80 central and south. A couple
of weak disturbances will stay north and
south of the state over the next 3 days
and our MAC-LAC locations should be
sitting pretty. We should remain moderately
cool for a while, with some warmer air
showing up in the models towards the
middle of next week or so then growing signs
of a nice heat wave arriving sometime in
the 12th to the 18th time frame as the
upper ridge looks to rebuild into the
center of the country and rising heights
could mean a return to solid 80's to low
90's type weather but obviously we are
going to wait and there will be no
guaranties, just something to watch for.
