It's the 21st day of the monthof July 2025 and, as we
indicated yesterday,temperatures are averaging about
two degrees above normal, someplaces well above normal precip
wise, because of the heavy rainsthat we had across the
northeast on the 14th it didn'thappen everywhere we're also

(00:21):
seeing lots of rainfall todayacross the eastern section of
Kentucky, tennessee, westernnorth and south Carolina,
southern West Virginia andwestern state of Virginia, also
rainy conditions across thenorthwestern corner of Montana,
northern Idaho, eastern sectionsof Washington and Oregon, also
around four corners, and normalmonsoons are occurring there.

(00:43):
In the northeast big area, highpressure is building southward
from the Great Lakes.
That's going to give us somepretty good weather for New York
, philadelphia, wilmington andeven down at DC, at least right
up through Wednesday.
Then the frontal system returnsas a warm front and by the end
of the week we'll havetemperatures in many of the
major cities up to near 100degrees, with heat advisories

(01:05):
for later Friday, possibly evenSaturday and Sunday, although
some scattered showers andthunderstorms will start to take
over as the high break.
Maybe another area of highpressure building south from
central Canada for early nextweek.

(01:30):
But this week starts offexcellent.
Today is going to be just abeautiful day.
Highs ranging between 80 and 85.
Dew points are in the 60s.
Well, dew points means thatwith temperatures in the 60s and
temperatures in the 80s youusually have very comfortable
weather.
Your relative humidity duringthe time of high temperatures
about 35-40%, as opposed torelative humidities being around
55-60% when you have 90 degreesand dew points in the 70s,

(01:54):
especially up to 74-75 degrees,that's very uncomfortable.
Not going to have that today ortomorrow.
It'll start to creep up byWednesday and by the end of this

humid weather will return.
