6/11- Can we get a dry day in?

Good Wednesday all!

A dry day? It's possible today...but not certain, particularly across western areas. There is still a chance of showers and storms, to be sure, but the risk today and tomorrow looks less than any of the next few days. The weekend looks great, but getting there could be a challenge with some severe weather likely Friday night as a cold front moves through and, after a mostly sunny day, the instability in the atmosphere will be quite high. Beyond that, next week looks to have one bad day with a fair amount of rain likely on Tuesday, but I am not overly concerned about any weather event in the near future except Friday night.


In the Pacific- Cristina is now a 75mph hurricane 265 miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico. Strengthening is likely, and Cristina could get near or even exceed major hurricane status before weakening begins in about 48 hours as it moves over colder water

In the Atlantic- No development anytime soon!

Today in weather history- June 11, 1842- Irasburg, Vermont, Berlin, New Hampshire, and most of northern New England picks up one foot of snow in an insanely late season snowstorm. For this to happen, the timing must have been absolutely perfect, moving into the region in the early morning, when the clouds could prevent a drastic rise in temperature after radiational cooling since that is likely the only way that the air could be cold enough to keep it as a pure snowstorm.


I know many of you are wondering about graduation day, and at the moment it looks alright. There could be Tropical issues for the region later that week, however, and there likely will be a tropical storm somewhere that week, with models showing everything from a tropical storm in Mexico to a hurricane in Connecticut. Some help that is! No way of saying anything yet...way, way, way, way, way too early.
