The month changed. The weather didn’t. Showers and storms in the overnight hours of July 1st brought downpours of rain and upwards of 70 mph \wind gusts, along with downed power lines and limbs.
The storm chance looks slim for today, with the best opportunity coming in the morning. Humidity will fall a little tonight, then fall a lot tomorrow evening. Our All-American holiday will feature Canadian high pressure keeping temperatures below average. It will be mostly sunny on the Fourth.
The best chance of natural fireworks Friday will come along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. A tropical depression off the coast of Florida is likely to become the first tropical storm of the season today in the Atlantic. It will likely make its closest approach to land at the Carolina coastline on Independence Day.
Our next big storms might not arrive until next week. We can wait. Yesterday’s latest rainfall pushed the final total for Indianapolis just over 7 inches for June..
