INCREASING MOISTURE. ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ON SATURDAY, AND MORESO ON SUNDAY.
3. DIURNAL CONVECTIVE TRENDS CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK WITH
INCREASING CHANCES FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY

DISCUSSION:
HIGH PRESSURE AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL RESULT IN AN
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL INDEPENDENCE DAY WITH A CLEAR, SUNNY SKY.
WHILE IT WILL BE VERY NICE, IT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL STILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S WITH A
VERY HIGH UV INDEX. IF SPENDING A LOT OF TIME OUT IN THE SUN,
PRACTICE HEAT SAFETY, STAY HYDRATED, AND USE SUN PROTECTION.
THIS WEEKEND, LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE BEGINS TO INCREASE AS SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST. UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING BECOMES MORE
PRONOUNCED ACROSS OUR AREA WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT ANY
PRECIPITATION CHANCES. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BECOME MORE POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, MAINLY ACROSS THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS DURING THE PEAK HEATING HOURS OF THE AFTERNOON.
DIURNAL SUMMER-TIME CONVECTION CONTINUES EARLY NEXT WEEK. A WEAK
FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND SOUTHERN
APPALACHIANS ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH INCREASING CHANCES
FOR SCATTERED, MAINLY DIURNAL, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
