Good Thursday all!
The weather today is going to be pretty much dry, despite a great deal of cloud cover, but it's going to be the best day of the week...by far! The temperatures today should be held in the low 70s by the clouds, and although I can't rule out scattered showers, I think most of us stay dry today. Unfortunately, tomorrow looks rather violent in the afternoon, as a cold front moves through and gives us strong to even severe storms with a cold front this weekend. By Saturday afternoon, we dry out and the rest of the weekend looks great! Graduation day still looks fine, but there could be a tropical threat for New England by the end of that week if everything falls into place. Unfortunately, the only model that goes to that distance out is the GFS, so confidence is low, particularly since ensembles seem to agree on an east coast track for now from the Gulf, and a good number bring at least Tropical Storm conditions to our area...but it would be unwise to expect this when any tropical development at all is still over a week away (the storm would form around the 19th or 20th according to the model)
In the Atlantic- No development is expected in the next 5 days
In the Pacific- Hurricane Cristina unexpectedly rapidly intensified last night and it is now a major hurricane 240 miles SW of Manzanillo, Mexico with 120mph winds. Not much is expected to come of it though as it moves out to sea to the northwest
Today in weather history- June 12, 1991- The largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century begins as Mt Pinatubo erupts, and cooling the globe, resulting in the coldest year since the 1970s. To add insult to injury, Typhoon Yunya hits the Philippines on the same day! Yikes!
