   As of 08:00 Hrs this am we have broken cloud and unlimited visibility.

For the forecast, the upper level ridge which brought us record breaking temperatures yesterday will begin slowly shifting East with a light SW flow aloft this am. Should see a slight increase in the cloud cover each day as the flow becomes moderate by Wednesday, when an upper level trough moves into our zone. Temperatures will also slightly decrease each day through this transition and there is a chance of some showers late Wednesday into Thursday. The upper low is expected to move through our zone by the weekend but the models are not consistent in its strength, timing and track. Looks like a mixed bag, some cloud, sun and the occasional shower into Sunday. Typical June weather!!

    High will bring mostly sunny weather into Wednesday.

    Low to the North will begin to affect our area by Wednesday.

    Showers likely by Thursday.

    Flow for this week into the weekend. Unsettled conditions Thursday through Sunday.

     Low will bring cloud and some moisture later in the week. Models are unsure of the Lows path.

     Looks cloudy for the weekend as well. Time will tell!!
