A strengthening ridge of high pressure is currently dominating the weather in the area. This is resulting in hot temperatures and a lack of rainfall. The skies are also expected to be clear with fewer clouds.

The high pressure system will be moving eastward, affecting other parts of the country. It is expected to bring above average temperatures to areas such as Chicago and Baltimore by the 4th of July weekend. Further details about the weather forecast are available from the source, including information about the impact of the Saharan dust that is moving into Texas.
