Wow! Can you believe that in less than a week it will be the 4th of July?? Where has this summer gone? Before we know it kids will be going back to school, leaves will be falling from the trees and we'll be talking about that four letter no-no 's' word...
snow. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Let's focus on the weekend because right now, it looks pretty nice.
Another area of high pressure will move into the Great Lakes following Thursday's cold front. This will help keep the humidity in check for the weekend with a gradual warming trend through Saturday. Jet stream winds this week are going to be fairly weak and often times this can cause slow moving storm systems. This looks to be the case to the south of Illinois late Saturday and Sunday.
High pressure should be strong enough to hold a stationary front over central and southern Illinois Sunday and Monday (4th) keeping most of the rainfall to the south. However, I've noticed just a slight shift northward over the past day with our forecast models that does bare some watching. If that high isn't as strong as we think it is there could be a few showers around for some of us Sunday and Sunday night. Right now the 4th looks dry.
We'll keep you updated throughout the week, but at this point it isn't something I would get too carried away with.
