Blessedly boring weather ahead this week
On the excitement scale, the weather this week rates very low. Maybe, just maybe, there will be a scattered shower or storm a day or two later this week, with Sunday showing the best chance right now. But on the enjoyment scale leading into the Fourth of July weekend, this week should rate very high for almost anyone. Days will see highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s, very slowly warming through the week, with relatively low humidity. Nights will be cool with lows in the mid 50s to low 60s most nights in most places. The days will be warm enough for kids to hit the swimming pool but not unberably hot for those doing outside work. Our air flow is generally from the northwest, which is the cool, dry direction, with little input of hotter, more moist air from the Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic.
Enjoy this now. Summer is young, so a run of humid, stormy weather or sizzling hot weather still has plently of time to develop.

True ... new blog update posted .. .but I would not be surprised if the I-81 corridor ends up between the storm areas today, with some in SE WVa and far SW Va., and others from the Piedmont north and east. Storm Prediction Center is mentioning potential for supercells.
