While technically today is not a holiday, many people have taken advantage of the calendar and created a four day holiday weekend for themselves. Today is day 2 and we have another steamy day in the Northeast & Mid Atlantic states. High humidity, sunshine, hot temperatures and the risk for some scattered thunderstorms pretty much describe a typical July day. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s with cooler readings at the shore.

Steamy conditions continue Carolinas to Massachusetts, scattered thunderstorms into the weekend

We have what I would call steam bath conditions across much of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic states today. Some areas have seen some downpours and thunderstorms roll through overnight night which only adds to the very humid conditions. Dew points are very high today with readings in the low 70s. Combine that with temperatures in the low to middle 90s and you have the makings for a very uncomfortable day indeed. We do have a weak upper trough that is moving through the Northeast and Middle Atlantic states and while we do see the risk for some scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms, we suspect that those storms will be few and far between as the system coming through is weaker than advertised a few days ago.

Northeast & Mid Atlantic remain in a summer steam bath of heat, humidity & scattered thunderstorms
