Meteorologist Joe Cioffi

The Northeast and Northern Mid Atlantic states continue to enjoy nice dry conditions. Low humidity, sunshine and pleasant temperatures Monday saw temperatures that topped out in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Today we will see temperatures nudge a little higher to a range of 80 to 85 however dew points remain in the low to mid 50s so it will be quite comfortable. Look for lots of sunshine and no showers or thunderstorms are around as the radars remain nice and quiet.

Northeast US weather about as nice as it gets for July but heat humidity return late week

We will get the first week of July off to a very soggy start as a front stalls in the area, bringing a risk for numerous showers and thunderstorms on Monday evening (more on that shortly). While rain chances back off a little bit Tuesday and Wednesday as the front meanders and weakens, we will get at least a brief break from the advisory-level heat that punctuated the end of June. Rain will keep highs to the upper 80s on Monday, while onshore flow Tuesday helps to keep highs tamped down to the mid-80s. Warming begins again Wednesday, though, with upper 80s yielding to mid-90s on the Fourth of July. We’re in the upper 90s for Friday and the weekend with standard afternoon and evening shower and thunderstorm chances expected.

Clutter doesn’t just make your home look icky and run less efficiently, I will point out the specific reasons why clutter can cause mental anxiety and stress. Clutter to me is a visual explosion, it is loud and very distracting. I cannot focus in a cluttered environment whether in a home, a store, or any venue. This may be why I detest crowds and I avoid shopping in large brick-and-mortar stores.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.
