We have a cold front moving offshore today taking the last of the showers and thunderstorms out to sea. We will see improving weather conditions from west to east as skies clear out. Skies will go partly to mostly sunny as the day wears on. Dew points will be dropping and temperatures this afternoon will reach the mid to upper 80s. High pressure is building into the Northeast as this pattern of cold fronts passing every 3 days or so continues through the weekend and into next week.

Weather improves across the Northeast, thunderstorms possible over the weekend, 4th of July outlook

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.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Dangerous temperatures continue to bake a widespread area of the eastern U.S., prompting numerous heat advisories across the region. As the official start of astronomical summer got underway on Thursday, June 20, a widespread heat wave across the eastern United States continued to make it feel comparable to the dog days of summer during July and early August. High temperatures into the weekend will continue to soar into the 90s Fahrenheit across much of the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic, as well as part of New England.
