7 Day Forecast
Makes me:

Partly to mostly cloudy skies with a chance for showers this morning then showers and storms more likely after lunchtime and into the evening with our cold front. Highs in the lower-mid 80s. Our cold front is on the way and will pass through the area later tonight. Ahead of the front today we will see an increase in shower and storm activity especially this afternoon and evening with the heating of the day. We are not anticipating a severe storm outbreak but we cannot rule out an isolated strong to severe storm with gusty winds and some small hail.

Sunrise: 6:04 a.m.

Chance of precip: 70%

Wind: SW at 5-10 mph

Evening showers and storms possible then the rain ends overnight. Lows in the lower-mid 60s. Winds from the southwest at 5-10 mph early then from the northwest by daybreak, which is a sign the front has passed through.

Sunset: 8:19 p.m.

Chance of precip: 50%

Partly cloudy, windy, cooler and less humid. Our cold front moved by last night so today we are in a different air mass. This air mass is cooler and less humid than the one yesterday which should really make for a comfortable day. The good news is, this lasts the entire holiday weekend so it is going to be very cool at night and very comfy during the days with loads of sunshine.

Sunrise: 6:03 a.m.

Chance of precip: 20%

Wind: NW at 10-20 mph

Question: We were living in Virginia Beach VA at the time but do you have records showing what year on the east coast the month of June was unusually cold? Don't remember many days when it got out of the 60's that year just can't remember what year.
