For Friday,  the ridge that has been (and continues to be) the source of our heatwave will begin to flatten and pushed to the south, but this will do nothing to alleviate the heat.  As we head through the 4th of July weekend, a series of short waves will continue to flatten the ridge and that will allow for a better chance for showers and storms on the 4^th , however it will not be a washout. Just scattered hit and miss type activity. A bit of a shortwave ridge moves in Sunday, diminishing the chance for showers and storms.  A cold front heads our way Monday with another chance for showers and storms. More seasonable for Wednesday, then we start warming again to end the work week.

There will be no public forecast until Monday, July 6^th As EPAWA staff will be spending the holiday with family and friends. Private services will continue as normal.
