COOLER AND MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER AS WE CLOSE OUT JUNE

A major change in the weather pattern will pave the way for excessive heat in the west and cool, wet and unsettled conditions in the eastern states; the transition will start Thursday and last through a good portion of next week.

Waves of low pressure will affect the region every couple of days, with bouts of rain and cool temps. The first storm will arrive tomorrow night and last through part of Friday morning before tapering off during the day. We should see around a half an inch of rainfall during this time frame.

On its heels, another area of low pressure will move into the region for Saturday with a more substantial shot at a soaking rainfall on the order of 1-2 inches. The current guidance indicates that rain will arrive around noon and continue through early Sunday morning before quitting by Sunday afternoon. If this materializes, it'll be a rare summer washout, with consistent rainfall over a period of at least 6-12 hours.



Along with this storm and a strong northeast wind flow, temps will be well-below normal levels with readings only topping out near 70F.

Another break in rain returns for Sunday afternoon through Monday. By Tuesday afternoon and night, more rain in the form of showers and thunderstorms creep in and move out by Wednesday morning.
