Discussion
High pressure to our north has shifted to a position off the east coast and a weak frontal system will slowly approach us from the west over the next 24 hours. As a result, the chances for showers will increase markedly by later today and there will be occasional showers and possible embedded strong thunderstorms tonight and part of Thursday. Some of the rain can come down hard at times in the overnight hours and early on Thursday. Heat and humidity will build by Friday afternoon and it’ll stay uncomfortable through the weekend and right into the middle part of next week. While the Friday, Saturday, Sunday time period looks to be generally rain-free, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will increase for late Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (4th of July).
