Not The Start to July You Expected

By: Jim Caldwell - Email

After last week's heat and humidity it is hard to believe that we are just beginning to get into July. The thing is... there is no heat and humidity in our region! At least right now

I am sure many of you have been surprised when walking outside and feeling how truly nice it is out there. I am not the outdoor type... unless it's golf or swimming... but I have found myself wanting to be outside the last few evenings. If we could dry the air up just a little more I would say it has a fall feel to it... but you can still feel some of the moisture.

The normal high for today is 83 degrees, but we only hit 77 officially at the NWS Jackson. It was a very pleasant 77 with limited humidity throughout the day. Wednesday could be even cooler with more clouds around and again the possibility of a stray shower passing through the region.

The coverage of showers & storms will not be anything significant. Isolated at best for many of you. Again, I want to stress that I wouldn't cancel any outdoor plans this week. Just remember that a stray shower could come passing by and be a nuisance.
