Discussion
High pressure stays in control of the weather around here for another day, but the overall pattern becomes more unsettled on Thursday as the high shifts offshore and an upper-level trough starts to have an influence in this area. Today will feature plenty of sunshine, still moderate humidity levels and warm conditions with afternoon highs in the middle 80’s. It turns hotter and more humid for the 4th of July Independence Day holiday and stays hot and sticky through the upcoming weekend. In addition, the atmosphere will become more unstable on Thursday...enough so to increase the chance for afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms and any thunderstorm that forms can be strong and produce locally heavy rainfall. The threat of showers and thunderstorms will continue on Friday and Saturday as well to go along with the very warm and humid conditions as a cool front slowly advances in this direction from our northwest.
