6/16- hot hot hot!

Good Monday all! (And welcome to the last week of school for many!)

Today is going to be very similar to yesterday was with one exception- it will be considerably warmer. I think highs top off in the low 80s inland and high 70s but no precip is in sight! Just a gorgeous day- enjoy it! Unfortunately, humidity spoils the party tomorrow after a warm front moves through tonight and thus there is a decent chance of some rain tomorrow morning and cloud cover, which will hold the temps in the 70s for most. Wednesday though looks absolutely miserable, with highs in the 90s, extreme humidity, and severe thunderstorms in the afternoon as CAPE values will be pretty high as a result (which essentially is a measure of how unstable the atmosphere is). Beyond that, the rest of the week looks just fine, with 80s but less humidity and sunny. Sunday night rain is likely, but graduation a week from now looks to be just fine!


In the Atlantic- Tropical Development is not expected anytime soon

In the Pacific- Hurricane Cristina has dissipated off the coast of Mexico, but there could be something else waiting in the wing as a cluster of storms about 200 miles south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec has a 30% chance of becoming Tropical Storm Douglas in the next 5 days.

Today in weather history- Sioux  Falls, SD records an improbable feat as they manage to receive 7.79 inches of rain...in just 2 hours! Flooding occurred, and several parks and trails had to be closed for several days after this.
