Some areas of thick fog this morning before we spend the day under sunny skies. Great summer weather ahead. We’ll get relief from both the recent rain (2.74″ since last Wednesday or 73% of typical July rainfall). Probably not a drop of rain this work week. Today we get more north wind- this will give us some relief from the high humidity. Saturday logged the highest heat index of the summer (a feel-like of 103), today the dewpoints drop down to the mid-50’s.
High pressure dominates this work week- dry weather! Look at the next three days:
