DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - Traffic jams. We have all been in them, and they stink! You may also think this week's weather stinks. At any one given time, there are typically four or five large storms across the Northern Hemisphere. Two occupy parts of the lower 48 right now. Â

One storm along the North Carolina coast will take a couple of days to do a loop before heading back out to sea. Meanwhile, a large dome of high pressure over Michigan will continue to produce plenty of heat. However, that same high-pressure region also brings a northeast wind flow into the state, allowing humidity to remain subdued. So, it is like a Las Vegas dry heat around here. Kinda. Â
Farther west, another storm is slow to progress through Wyoming, given what is taking place ahead of it in Michigan and North Carolina. However, once the Carolina storm moves out, the Michigan high pressure will follow, allowing the Wyoming storm to arrive. Now, it will not have much rain since the humidity is not all that high, but it will break the back of this heat ... at least for the time being. Hint hint. Â
In the meantime, stay safe and stay sweaty out there.Â
