Hot And Stormy Fourth

Stormy Fourth
It’s a hot and stormy Fourth of July in South Florida — and the fireworks may be provided by Mother Nature.  The holiday features hot sun and some clouds to start, but then showers and storms will develop around midday.  Some of those storms could be strong, with dangerous lightning, gusty winds, and even hail.  Highs on Wednesday will be in the low 90s — but it will feel quite a bit hotter.  This evening, storms and showers could last into the prime hours for fireworks displays along the Gulf coast.  While we should see a break from the storms after sunset in the east coast metro areas, some storms could move in before midnight.
Thursday will bring some sun, some clouds, and periods of passing showers and storms.  Thursday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Friday will be another somewhat unsettled day, with sun, clouds, and periods of showers and storms.  Friday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Saturday should see a transition into a more typical summer weather pattern, with a few early east coast showers, followed by sun, clouds, and some afternoon showers and storms forming along the sea breezes.  Saturday’s highs will be in the low 90s.
Sunday’s forecast is for more of the same — sun, clouds, and mostly afternoon showers with a few storms in spots.  Highs on Sunday will be in the low 90s.
In the tropics, an area of showers and storms a few hundred miles south of Bermuda has a medium chance of developing into a tropical or subtropical depression during the next 5 days.  This feature is expected to interact with a trough over the Atlantic and move away from the U.S. coast.
