Weekly Highlights June 29th to July 5th

This week we will see more of the same warm humid weather in the eastern part of the US with daily chances of showers and thunderstorms, and who should see nice 4^th of July weather. Sunday, storms look to develop out across the Plains, the Mid-Atlantic states, and the Upper Great Lakes. Throughout the week with the heat and humid conditions in the Mid-Atlantic states there will be a daily chances for some isolated showers and thunderstorms. Monday more storms will develop in the Ohio and Tennessee Valley’s and bring some severe weather and move to the East on Tuesday. Tuesday, storms continue in parts of the Northeast and into the Mid-Atlantic states. Also on Tuesday, more severe weather will develop from the Texas Panhandle through the Mississippi Valley and into parts of the Southeast. With the heat and high dew points again this week in the Southeast and parts of the Mid-Atlantic states, it would not surprise me to see a tornado. Friday in the Plains down into Western Texas, storms look to develop in the afternoon and could be severe. Dew points on Friday in the Plains look to be in the 70’s which could produce several tornadoes throughout the Plains and into Texas. Saturday, more severe weather look to develop in the Upper Great Lakes. This week daily rains look to impact the Four Corners states again this week, and areas of New Mexico and Colorado saw some heavy rains last week.

With this being a holiday week with the 4^th of July coming this Friday, most of the US looks to have good fireworks weather. Much of the West and East look to be rain free, while most of the Upper Plains into the Central Plains will see some showers and thunderstorms. These storms could be out of those areas in time to see the fireworks, we will have to see throughout the week to see how these storms develop. Once again, this week its more of the same. The West is warm and dry, while parts of the East will see hot and humid conditions. Along with the hot and humid conditions, Daily occurrences for showers and thunderstorms will continue throughout the Eastern part of the US.
