For several weeks, the long range models were showing a cloudy, rainy forecast for the upcoming Fourth of July weekend.
Things have changed, and the latest GFS model has the rain being suppressed just to our south as high pressure builds in with beautiful weather.
With this boundary being just to our south, things could easily change, Right now, things are looking good.
High pressure is expected to nose in from the northeast giving us sunny skies, lower dew points and seasonably warm temperatures.
Both Saturday and Sunday will be sunny with high temperatures 83-85 degrees.
The models haven’t been doing well predicting placement of showers and thunderstorms over the past two weeks. As an example, the heavy rains that had been expected Thursday ended up in West Virginia.
That said, the long range GFS model is showing a somewhat wet and unsettled period for us over the upcoming Fourth of July weekend. Stay tuned.
A large elongated area of high pressure will center itself over our region for the weekend giving us sunny skies and warm temperatures with low dew points.
Fair skies both days . Saturday high temperature 83 and Sunday high temperature 88 . Dew points remain in the comfortable 50s until Sunday evening. Enjoy!
