Sunday Outlook for July 4th Week

We’ve endured another big rain storm. 13” and counting over the last 6 weeks. 2” per week on average. That is a lot of rain. A very wet pattern indeed.  This past storm was almost the opposite of what Bill brought us with respect to what others got. The maps below show the rain from yesterday’s storm and from Bill last weekend. (Last weekend is on top, yesterdays is below) This weekend we were in one of the “lighter” hit areas, while last weekend we were in the heavier. It all balances out I suppose.

For this next week this wet pattern will continue. Although the rain will not be as widespread, it could be heavy in any storms that we do get. It will not be a hot week either. Just seasonal and pleasant overall.

Forecast Considerations:
1.      Will left over clouds from overnight Midwest storms make Tue mostly cloudy and cooler than currently expected?
2.      Will storms fire overnight Tue into Wed bringing heavy rain? Or will it just be partly cloudy?
3.      Will there be a left over shower on Thu?  Or will be dry all day?
4.      Weather system to impact our area will it come in on Fri or Sat?  Timing is difficult due to smaller size of system. Will it have a negative impact on outdoor 4th of July celebrations?   
5.      Will our hottest day of the year come early next week?    
6.      Nice weather Mon, Thu, Sun.
