The area continues to be dominated by an upper trough that is keeping humid summer conditions away from Pennsylvania. The trough is impressive on satellite imagery with the dip extending from Minnesota down to southern Missouri and Kentucky and then back up through West Virginia.

Similar to yesterday, our area will be in a position where we see divergent air loft. This will create lift, and along with daytime heating will likely lead to another round of very isolated rain and maybe even a weak storm.
