Good Saturday to one and all. It’s a hot and humid start to the weekend, but some hefty weather changes are on the way next week. Those changes bring several cold fronts into our region, leading to a much cooler overall pattern taking shape for the rest of July and into August.

Highs today are generally in the low 90s with some higher numbers showing up in the typical “hot spots”. Humidity levels will make it feel a little hotter. A few storms try to develop by the afternoon and evening. Track away…

Scattered showers and storms will increase for Sunday as steamy temps roll on. A few of the late day storms may be a little on the strong side, and those strong storms return on Monday. Some heavy rains will be noted with this action along and ahead of a cold front dropping in…

Cooler air shows up along and behind that boundary…

Another system then develops and works in here by Thursday and Friday, bringing more showers and thunderstorms. There is some indication of a system trying to close off near us…

That would certainly keep the below normal temps coming. As a matter of fact, the CFS continues to see the cooler than normal rest of July…

Have a great day and take care.
