TWO STORMS THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS

 

MINOR IMPACTS FROM LEE THIS WEEKEND

 

HEAT RELENTS LATE WEEK

 

The summer's first heat wave gives way to a more humid, unsettled pattern this weekend into next week. Hurricane Lee is not a threat to the U.S. mainland through next Wednesday but we should keep a close watch on it late next week for any direct/indirect impacts to our area. 

PROLONGED DRY/WARM SPELL THROUGH THE NEXT 10 DAYS

 

SUMMER HEAT IN FULL RETREAT

 

We have had the benefits of a pattern that would not allow heat to hold in our part of the country for the balance of the summer. Aside from a day or two, 90-degree days have been scattered. After today, the same pattern (or similar one) will take shape and keep excessive heat from the Mid-West from having a free hand into the Northeast states. Tropics are very active, but the overall pattern is not yet ominous for sending tropical systems our way through the next seven days. 

EARLY WEEK STORM/FLOOD RISKS

 

LATE WEEK EXCESSIVE HEAT

 

Much like the past few weeks, heat will come in and only remain for 2-3 days. 

Nevertheless, the hottest day of the summer season thus far for most of the region is on tap for Friday.
