Summer weather definitely arrived last week with plenty of heat, humidity and even a few thunderstorms. It looks like this pattern will continue for much of this forecast period.

Should we expect a record-setting July?

By
Another month has come and gone. Those of you who felt June 2012 was actually a little warmer than average, were pretty much right — at least for most areas.
