Another cloudy and humid day with some thunderstorms!


At 6:30am this morning it is cloudy and humid again, we had some light showers around 4am but those showers have moved to our north.
This morning will be mainly dry but thunderstorms are likely to redevelop this afternoon with heavy rain possible once again. Hopefully we don’t get the torrential downpour that caused massive flash flooding as we had yesterday morning.
Chances of thunderstorms will decrease as the week goes on as a high pressure ridge over the Atlantic builds west into our area. Temperatures will increase with more sunshine rising to near 90 on Independence day and this heat along with high humidity will last through the weekend into at least early next week.

The Forecast: Today – Cloudy with showers and thunderstorms likely by this afternoon, some heavy rain possible, high in the low 80s.
Tonight – Cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, some rain may be heavy, low around 70.
Wednesday – Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, high in the upper 80s.
Independence Day – Mostly cloudy, high near 90.
Friday – Partly sunny, high near 90.
Saturday – Partly sunny, high near 90.
