Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:25:00 EDT A large upper level low over the Great Lakes region will slowly weaken as it reaches eastward toward New England. This system will bring continued below normal temperatures across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Cloudy and damp weather will persist over New York and New England. High pressure with dry weather will be in place from the Mississippi Valley to the southern Appalachians. A stationary front will persist across the Southeast and spark isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms. A better threat for showers and thunderstorms will exist across the Florida Peninsula. Across the Plains, moisture will lift northward and interact with a stationary front across the Southern Plains and another weak front over the central and northern High Plains. Scattered thunderstorms are likely the western Dakotas to the Central Plains. The West will remain seasonably hot as an upper ridge extending from the interior Southwest to Texas gradually weakens.
