Good Monday everyone and welcome to a new week. It is a super busy week for many people as we say goodbye to June and hello to the 4th of July! It is hard to believe that we are already to our Independence Day! Seems like only yesterday we were talking about Easter weather. Time is flying my friends, so slow down and enjoy life!

It has been a while since we did the whole week ahead-lines thing so let’s get crackin’…

1. Today looks like a VERY nice day with temps in the lower 80s under a mainly sunny sky! The other aspect of this being an awesome day is that it is the start of my vacation week away from work!

2. A much cooler period is in store from Tuesday through Thursday as a huge upper level low sets up shot across the eastern half of the country. This cooler period was first talked about here on the blog a week ago!

3. Just how cool can it get? The potential is there for a couple of days where highs stay well below 80. Any day that has a fair amount of clouds and showers and storms around could be considered chilly by mid summer standards!

4. It is likely to be a fairly breezy period as well.

5. With such cold air aloft and little spokes of energy rotating through the area… afternoon showers and storms will be possible. With the cold air close to the ground… some hail will be possible.

6. The warm temps will be fighting back in for our holiday weekend. This will like stir up some storm chances for your 4th of July.

7. The warm air may get smacked down once again by another cold front moving in by this time next week. Another shot of below normal air could be waiting in the wings!

8. I still cannot see a period of sustained heat into mid July. A day or two of 90 is not heat in July… it’s called normal!

9. I plan on doing a live, interactive chat this week to take some questions from you guys. I am thinking Thursday evening right now and will let you know something definite so check back. I am also planning something BIG for the bloggers this fall!

Have a great Monday and take care.
