We have arrived at Friday which of course is getaway day for the weekend. A new air mass is building into the Northeast and Northern Mid Atlantic and it brings with it drier air. Dew points are back down to the 50s and this means reasonable humidity. We will also have a good deal of sunshine today as highs will reach the low to middle 80s Satellite and radar views are quiet and clear and we have no rain in the forecast through Sunday. Most lows for Saturday morning inland will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s while warmer urban areas will be in the upper 60s to around 70.

For those who love the rainy days, sadly, it’ll be a little while before something like this will happen again.

As is typical for Independence Day, a majority of the nation will be hot. Spotty thunderstorms are also expected, with drenching storms in some locations. The Fourth of July will be hot for many areas of the United States, which is no surprise. In much of the nation, temperatures reach the peak historical average in July. While many can expect very warm air for July, temperatures may reach record levels in some locations.

As the U.S. sizzles under sweltering summer heat, those hoping for a cool fall may be out of luck. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center released its latest three-month outlook for August, September and October.

Thunderstorms have been a frequent flyer in parts of the Southwest and just about non-existent in other portions of the region. However, that will soon change. Summertime conditions have allowed parts of the southwestern United States to experience locally drenching and gusty thunderstorm activity, but storms have been scarce from western Arizona and Nevada to California thus far. However, AccuWeather meteorologists believe that may change as the calendar turns to August.
