*** Epidemic Update - 26 June: No new reports. Please view the Epidemic History for details. ***
Chance of showers Southeast; dry mid-Atlantic. Another front has dropped into the upper Southeast, where it will linger into the weekend. Otherwise, high pressure at the surface and aloft dominate. Along and south of the front, scattered showers and storms fire each day. In the mid-Atlantic, north of the front, the environment is much less conducive and no rain is anticipated. Hot, with highs fully in the 90s and lows in the 70s.
Overview: Epidemic spread likely in the lower Southeast. Transport events move largely near the sources. More clouds and showers will occur toward the lower Southeast and it is there where risks will be highest. Some disease development is possible farther northeast in the coastal areas.
