7/3 - 2pm - Dodging a Bullet?

I think we might just dry out for tomorrow afternoon. The GFS and NAM have now come into a general agreement that the storm activity will start late tonight and continue on until about midday tomorrow. Even though the timing of the front passage is a couple hours different on each model, the gist is that the rain chances should clear out of here by 5pm or so. From noon to that time we'll see some scattered hit and miss storms as the front pulls south, but it should be short-lived. The prime time for fireworks (after 9pm) looks dry. Keep your fingers crossed that it works this way. If the front stalls on the river, you can forget about shooting off fireworks or having a cookout in the late afternoon. I think we're going to get lucky on this one, and a high of around 80 tomorrow makes this deal even sweeter.

Today won't be as warm as yesterday, with only 80 degrees as our high. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are working their way into the area as of this writing and will stick around through the night and into tomorrow as I said earlier.
