Discussion
A true summer heat wave will take place over the next few days from the middle of the nation to the east coast. Temperatures here will soar today well up into the 90’s and we’ll climb into the 90’s this weekend as well. The good news is that there will be relief from the heat and humidity by the middle of next week and highs will be confined to the 80’s once again next Tuesday and Wednesday and the longer-term temperature pattern looks pretty reasonable for the remainder of the month of July. In terms of rainfall, there can be scattered showers and thunderstorms over the next couple of days and then an even greater chance of showers and thunderstorms will occur on Sunday and Monday as a strong cool front moves here from the Upper Midwest.
