July 16th Weather Discussion

At the top of the Ladder-Looking Down!

Once again the weather has taken us to the top of the ladder and we stand looking down as we get ready to take a plunge. However..before we take that plunge we have some heat & humidity to deal with. The weather today is going to be the result of a warm front pushing thru the region bringing heat and humidity to the area. This warm front however will be followed by a cold front later in the evening. The result of the warm & humid air and the strong cold front approaching spells out=thunderstorms. To find out whether they are going to be severe in your area, please see the appropiate thread :) 
As far as temperatures are concerned, we will be looking at warmer air across the majority of the region. There always seems to be an exception to this and once again mother nature will not let us down to that exception.That exception will be northern new england where the temperatures will be in the upper 60s to upper 70s. Heading towards the Southeast into Southern New England, temperatures will be in the lower 80s. Travelling further to the south to NYC and then into east central PA and SE PA into NJ temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s and it is not out of the question that some locations could exceed the 80s and hit 90. Keep in mind that dewpoints will be in the 60s to near 70 so it is going to feel like we are stuck in the muck. To the west into western PA and western NY upper 70s to mid 80s. To the south of the PA/MD border..Mid 80s to lower 90s. 
If you are out and about travelling or doing outdoor activities today...Keep an eye to the sky and with the humidity levels keep a bottle of water on you at all times. Dehydration is quite common on days like today! Otherwise enjoy the weather!
