Typical Summer Weather

We are about to head into a period of typical mid-July weather here in Kemptville, eastern Ontario, west Quebec and upstate New York. For the next week it appears we will see daytime highs in the upper 20's (80-85F) and lows in the upper teens (60-65F). It will be muggy with the threat of showers or thunderstorms in the afternoons each day. Good time to head to the beach, just have an escape plan to your car if thunderstorms approach.

Tropical Storm Bertha is now well east of Bermuda. The storm will continue to meander around the central Atlantic before racing off to the northeast by the weekend. The storm is expected to track well southeast of Newfoundland's coastal waters late Sunday or Monday.

An area of disturbed weather in the southern Caribbean will be investigated by a NOAA Hurricane Hunter today. It could become a tropical wave by evening and soon after a storm (39mph winds) which would be called Cristobal.
