WEATHER DISCUSSION: While the weekend showered the area with warm temperatures into the 80’s and 90’s, the warmth will be short-lived. A weak surface high pressure system moving into the area from Canada on Sunday kicks off the first round of cooler air. Followed by that, an upper-level trough will begin to swing through the area on Monday, bringing even more cooler air and rounds of showers and thunderstorms for the first half of the week.

The 4th of July holiday will see cooler temperatures into the 60’s and 70’s with lows in the 40’s. Other than chilly temperatures, breezy conditions are also in the forecast with gusts up to 20 mph. By the evening, chances for gusty conditions will begin to slow down just in time for the fireworks. Tuesday also shows chances for showers and thunderstorms to occur in the afternoon but mostly in the southern portion of the state.
