Have a safe 4th of July Holiday Weekend. Less sun today and cooler, but at least it won’t be raining on your picnic. Don’t Drink and Drive or Boat and Drive. The least you could get is a ticket and the worst is a ticket to the last roundup for you and maybe someone else. Be safe.
________________
Advisories: NONE AT THIS TIME.

A high pressure ridge (“Arch” shape) has moved out for a day, then more high pressure follows tomorrow. A frontal system along with a weak upper level disturbance ( “U” shape) has changed our weather back to more clouds and cooler temperatures today then back to more sunshine and warmer for the 4th.
