For July, August and Most of September:

Mostly to partly lousy locally, with a slight chance of clearing by October...

Here's my take on it - this year reminds me a lot of the summer I graduated from high school in '67 - a cool, wet spring followed by a cloudy, foggy summer. That year the sun came out ONCE between Memorial and Labor Day, pea-soup pretty much every day...I kid you not, it sucked in a large way.

That year water temps were slightly below normal and the warm moist air of the prevailing southwesterlies created heavily overcast skies on the best of days and thick fog on the others...

Of course, I've been wrong before...

I dunno, I'd like to be wrong this time but I'm thinking maybe not...
