Good Saturday all!
The long holiday weekend today begins with some rain today as the stubborn low that gave us as much as four inches of rain yesterday sits and spins over us, and while I don't believe it will be as horrid as last night, do expect at least some rain through the day today and tomorrow. By Monday, though, the storm clears and we will have a perfect day for Memorial Day with temps in the mid-80s and bright sunshine before severe storms threaten Tuesday, knocking the temps down for the rest of the week. More showers are possible Friday.
In the Pacific...Tropical Depression 1-E strengthened into Tropical Storm Amanda yesterday morning and has been rapidly intensifying ever since. Now, it is very near hurricane intensity, which it will likely achieve this afternoon before it drifts north. Eventually, the remnants of the system could effect Baja California and the Southwestern US...but it won't be a hurricane by then. Impacts would be primarily late next week in the Friday/Saturday timeframe as it is moving very slowly!
Today in weather history- May 24, 1894- Six inches of snow fall in the Virginia and Tennessee mountains as a low moves up. This is unheard of since then for this late in the season...it is almost June, after all!
