Comparing this year's Fourth of July weather with the last few years

For the Fourth of July holiday you usually think of hot and humid weather. That will not be the case this year.  In the previous post, I mentioned the cut off low for the middle of next week over the middle part of the country. This will keep clouds and showers around at times along with daytime temperatures as much as 10 degrees below normal.

Forecast for this year:
July 4th:  lower 80's

2012:
4th of July high: 104
Highest temp the first week of July: 106

2011:
4th of July high: 86
Highest temp the first week of July: 91

2010:
4th of July high: 93
Highest temp the first week of July: 97

2009:
4th of July high: 73
Highest temp the first week of July: 86
This was the famous cool summer. There were only 13 days in the 90's all year.

Through June 28:
Days this year in the 90's: 6    Highest temperature: 93
Days in 2012 in the 90's through June 28:  15  Highest temperature: 103
