Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Friday, July 03, 2009. Mostly benign weather developed in the country Friday.
A low pressure system gradually moved through the Northeast and into eastern Canada, providing mainly scattered showers through New England. These showers diminished as the day progressed.
A few isolated showers and thunderstorms also made their way across the peninsula of Florida, but only provided some areas of moderate to heavy rain.
Perhaps the strongest weather feature in the country was a low pressure system that moved out of the Rockies and into the Plains. This feature was strong enough to produce a line of showers and intense thunderstorms that swept through the Plains. In addition, areas of rain developed in the Dakotas as well as behind the low pressure system in the Rockies and Great Basin.
Low coastal clouds kept much of the West Coast cool to mild, with warm temperatures farther inland.
The Northeast rose into the 60s and 70s, while the Southeast saw temperatures in the 80s, 90s, and some 100s. The Southern Plains saw similar temperatures as Heat Advisories were once again in effect for many locations.
The Northwest rose into the 70s and 80s, whie the Southwest saw temperatures in the 90s and 100s.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Friday have ranged from a morning low of 37 degrees at Wolf Creek Pass, co. to a midday high of 106 degrees at Thermal, Calif.
