First off I want to wish everyone a happy first day of July!!!  We started off the month pretty warm and humid and that will pretty much be the case for the rest of the week/weekend with the exception being Thursday and possibly Friday.  Rain chances will return late tomorrow and carry over to our Thursday as a front pushes its way through the state.  I think the rain should be over no later than Thursday evening and our Fourth of July looks dry, with partly to mostly cloudy skies expected.  The rest of the holiday weekend we'll warm back up into the upper 80s with dry weather expected.

Now on to the recap of the month of June.  The National Weather Service in Pleasant Hill put out there analysis for last month for KCI and St. Joseph and here is what they had to say:

"NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITATION
CHARACTERIZED KANSAS CITY WEATHER IN JUNE...

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday everyone!!!
