Forecast: Humid heat could fuel storms

By Jason Samenow July 2 at 4:21 PM

Independence Day in Washington coincides with the hottest and muggiest time of year, so it should come as little surprise that this year, like many in the past, promises to be sultry.

The heat and humidity are also likely to trigger hit-or-miss afternoon and evening storms, which could disrupt holiday festivities, including fireworks celebrations. Scattered storms are most likely in the 4 to 10 p.m. window, although this timing is subject to change ...

Humidity levels are borderline oppressive, with dew points in the low 70s. The combination of heat and humidity, make peak afternoon temperatures feel several degrees hotter, possibly up to 100 degrees ...

of June and into the first part of July. It's humid but at least it's not as hot as some years have been. The storms too are almost too hard to predict too, they just pop up all of a sudden, let loose a downpour (like today) and poof, they (storms) are gone.

Kansas City today:

99 degrees (from car thermometer)
About 1000% humidity

It’s like being in a bathtub.
My friend calls it “swamp ass” weather.

Happy sweltering 4th of July, Two Scoops!
