July 21st Weather Discussion Humidity increases & So does the Moisture!

July 21st Weather Discussion

Humidity increases & So does the Moisture!
Well, much as i been discussing in the temperature/pattern thread humidity is increasing across the coastal areas with dewpoints yesterday evening already in the 60-65 range. With an increase in humidity and dewpoints also comes an increase in moisture content in the air. Essentially what that means if any type of trigger comes along you can have showers and thunderstorms. Also with a flow coming from around the High Pressure in the Atlantic (CAR) this can also increase those chances of showers and thunderstorms. So that is what we will be dealing with today..The areas that will receive the most rain are areas along the coast and slightly inland. Please see my blog for rainfall totals or the appropiate thread if reading this in the forum. Also with the increase chance in showers there will be some isolated severe possibilities over PA/NJ...
Now..depending where you are I am not expecting this to be a completely rainfilled day. If you are along the coast or immediately inland you have the better chance of more substantiated rain fall. Further inland..skies will be partly to mostly cloudy for most of the day..however..there could be glimmers of sunshine here and there...Showers and thunderstorms are also possible but along the lighter variety.
Temperatures basically are going to be pretty much in the range of 70-80 from PA & points NE...South of PA about the same temperatures until you get south of Washington DC..then the lower 80s are more likely.
High temperature today July 20 @ KABE 83
