Don't count on it. It will be just cool and mostly cloudy (unless forecast says rain and not showers). It happened again in early July when they had forecast a few wet days in a row and it almost didn't rain at all. But it would be nice to see some rain because sky got smoky again from the fires.

With one day to go, Chi/ORD is 2.4F above normal for the month of July, but IKK is only 0.5F above normal.

It's going to get hot in Chi next week

maybe closest to average day we've had in a while; most days have either been above or below average humidity or with hot afternoons. This month feels like it's had less "normal" summer weather

Did today also. 1.5" all around me and i got only .50". It is like a force field. This month will be well below normal again just like every July. But at least i got around 5" compared to just over 2" in July 2016.

Warm front may bring thunderstorms. I remember @joe90 thought only cold fronts brought storms? Can't remember if it was him. From NWS Boston. From the discussion, sounds like the very humidity makes it easier

High pressure moves offshore today. A warm front will approach
the South Coast Wednesday morning before lifting north of the
region during the afternoon. The front may trigger scattered
showers or thunderstorms
. The Bermuda high then builds back
into southern New England and brings a return to heat and
humidity through at least next weekend, along with scattered
showers and thunderstorms, mainly across the interior.


still going for tornadoes


Models in good agreement that warm front will approach South
Coast Wed morning. Scattered showers may develop overnight as
front draws closer, with possible thunderstorms near South Coast
where airmass becomes marginally unstable. Doesn`t look like
enough instability or 0-6km shear to support severe weather, but
that`s something to watch in later model runs as early morning
warm fronts can often be a setup for severe weather this time of
year.

Warm front lifts north of region by Wednesday afternoon putting
SNE in warm sector but persistent cloud cover may limit
destabilization. Models/ensembles are at odds with how much CAPE
can be realized but there are signals in SPC SREF, HREF, and
00z NAM/GFS to support scattered thunderstorms Wed afternoon
across interior, mainly along and west of a line from Hartford
to Worcester and Lowell. Due to this uncertainty we are not
overly confident in potential for severe weather in SNE, and are
in agreement with SPC Day 2 Marginal outlook.

That said, while mid level lapse rates appear to be weak,
environment should feature strong 0-6km shear of 40-50kt, which
favors line segments with potential for localized wind damage.
Also need to be aware of possibility of a tornado given low LCLs
in tropical airmass
, favorable hodographs which show sufficient
low level turning of winds, and 0-500m helicity approaching
100. Also have localized flash flood threat with precipitable
water values climbing to over 2 inches and dewpoints in lower
70s.
