 USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey says above normal temperatures across most of the country and a mixture of precipitation levels are expected weather-wise for the period of July 9th through the 15th. Covering the time period from July 9th through the 15th, we do expect to see above normal temperatures virtually nationwide. There may be enough cloudiness and rainfall in south Texas to suppress temperatures to near normal levels, but it sure does look hot for much of the western United States from July 9th through the 15th.
