00:00 Sunshine back in your exclusive

00:01 AccuWeather forecast for this

00:03 afternoon throughout much of the

00:04 Northeast. Along with that,

00:06 we're going to be talking about less humidity

00:08 and again air quality conditions in good shape.

00:11 So we're covering all bases here.

00:13 Pretty good looking afternoon to

00:15 venture outside if you have any plans.

00:17 Now there will be some showers,

00:19 some downpours and some thunderstorms,

00:21 especially as we lift our way into

00:23 northern Vermont, New Hampshire,

00:24 and into the state of Maine.

00:26 So be weather aware here.

00:28 And allow extra time to reach

00:30 that final destination.

00:30 We've talked about a lot of

00:32 rain so far this month.

00:34 I mean, look at this in Albany.

00:36 Already the second wettest July on record.

00:38 We still have a ways to go here

00:41 throughout the month of July until

00:42 we wrap things up and we could

00:45 easily see that number continue

00:46 to climb as we go down the road.

00:48 Not so much the case today,

00:50 but check out the numbers for a change.

00:52 We're going below the historical

00:54 average around Pittsburgh and

00:55 Syracuse and Richmond and wow,

00:57 we're down the list that we're

00:58 not below the historical average.

01:00 That's going to change as we

01:02 work our way down the road and

01:04 not in the short term, though.

01:05 Even on Sunday it will be humid,

01:07 but not too overly hot or active.

01:09 For that matter,

01:10 showers kind of clinging to far

01:12 northern Maine back to the West

01:13 will be another round of thunderstorms

01:15 rolling in from Michigan into Indiana,

01:17 Illinois that slides East into the

01:19 Northeast as we work our way into

01:21 Monday around Syracuse could also

01:22 see some thunderstorms coming in

01:24 toward Burlington but notice toward

01:25 the end of the period look at Tuesday.

01:27 89 Philadelphia 86 toward Pittsburgh

01:29 in the trend will be for some warmth

01:31 to further intensify as we work our

01:33 way down the road toward Lake next week.

01:36 In fact,

01:36 some of these spots here could experience

01:38 again that surge of heat coming back in.

01:41 Here's the reason why we're going

01:42 to see the jet stream lift to the

01:45 North haven't seen that happen too

01:47 many times over the last couple of weeks.

01:49 We've seen lots of dips coming down,

01:51 lots of storminess and also some

01:53 cooler air here at times, so it's

01:55 going to be hot and humid and not as.

02:00 Rating.
