Spotty Storms Return Across Multiple Regions Late Week

A north breeze has brought slightly cooler and drier conditions for the start of the week, with mostly dry skies expected through Tuesday and temperatures below average. However, spotty storms are forecast to return later in the week as humidity and temperatures rise, particularly from Wednesday onward, with a weak disturbance potentially increasing storm coverage over the weekend. While there is a low risk for severe weather Tuesday afternoon, including damaging winds in some storms, overall conditions will remain mostly comfortable and less humid through midweek. The 4th of July is expected to have near-normal temperatures in the low to mid-90s, with a chance of storms mainly in the evening and higher storm chances over the weekend. Despite some scattered showers and thunderstorms, outdoor plans, including fireworks on the 4th, are likely to remain largely unaffected. Regional variations in storm activity are noted, such as showers moving through southeast Michigan, but widespread severe weather is not anticipated at this time.
