Discussion
Following the passage of the remains of Tropical Storm Cindy, a refreshing air mass for late June has pushed across the Great Lakes and into the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures for the next few days will be rather comfortable around here for this time of year and downright cool for the Great Lakes, Upper Midwest and Northern Plains. It’ll turn very warm again towards the end of the week and the summer-like humidity will return. The weather pattern will likely become unsettled again at the end of the week and that unsettled weather looks like it will continue through the weekend and into the early part of next week. A stalled out frontal boundary zone it likely to bring us a daily chance of showers and thunderstorms during this upcoming unsettled stretch. One final note, in the "deja vu" department, NASA/Wallops once again postponed the artificial cloud rocket launch which was scheduled for Saturday night - no new date has been set.
