Storms in the PM some more soakers. Wed (7/19) - Thu (7/20) warm and more isolated storms with the stronger heat staying south and recent rains temps likely capped in the 80s. Fri (7/21) more widespread storms with a deep south/southwesterly flow before front clears for the weekend. The western ridge anchored with trough into the NE/GL and an expanding western atlatnic ridge will keep boundary near by next weekend before height rise so warm and humid with more storm chances through the 23/24. Period 7/21 - 7/24 looks near or below with clouds and stronger heat south. 7/25th and beyond heights rising into the area as the W/ Atl Ridge sets up off the coast and a warm to how sw flow. The western atlantic ridge will push stronger heat into the east at times reaching into the Northeast. The end of the month looks hot as the nation is very warm and stronger heat pushing into the GL and heading east.

July is shaping up like 2016/ 2020 warm and wet.
