GOOD MORNING! Most historical accounts of July 4th, 1776 record the weather
in Philadelphia as having been oppressively hot. Indeed, the spring and
early summer had been very warm and the days leading into July downright
hot, but thunderstorms on the 1st and 2nd had mercifully cooled things off
by the 3rd, when deliberations over the wording of the document was
undertaken by the delegates. Cooler conditions were still occurring on the
4th, when the official document was released.

WEATHER FLIP FLOP: Well, it didn't take long to completely turn our mild,
wet weather pattern upside down. Storms pushed across the northern part of
the state last night as that upper level trough lifted out to the northeast.
Just that quickly, subsidence on the back side of the trough and building
high pressure will virtually eliminate rain chances and allow our
temperatures to heat up. I was worried about morning shower possibilities,
but those are long gone. Readings today will make it into the 90s across
much of the area. Heat indices will briefly exceed 100 degrees this
afternoon, and probably on Monday also. This is not enough for a heat
advisory, but everyone should exercise caution if involved in any outdoor
activities.

MONDAY: Most folks off tomorrow also, and more fine weather is on tap,
except for the warm temperatures. Expect the same for Tuesday and
Wednesday.

REST OF THE WEEK: A little weakness in the high pressure ridge will allow a
front to approach from the north on Thursday. This front will likely stall
in our vicinity, keeping rain chances in the forecast for Friday, but the
front should wash out by the weekend.

FIREWORKS FORECAST: The weather looks good for tonight's Thunder on the
Mountain and various other fireworks displays. If you are going to fire
your own pyrotechnics, make sure they are legal in your community and check
out fireworks safety guidelines from the National Council on Fireworks
Safety in today's Weather Talk.
