6/2- Hot!

Good Monday all-

A very hot day is on the way today as I expect temps to arrive in the mid 80s by later this afternoon inland, but more like the high 70s on the shoreline. Unfortunately, a Storm Warning is issued for tomorrow night, as a rather heavy rainstorm is going to occur with thunder and lightning. I expect totals in many areas to exceed one inch of rain to meet warning criteria. Beyond that, warm temps (high 70s/low 80s) hold serve with scattered thunderstorms possible every day until Sunday, when the threat of that decreases.

In the Pacific- The area of storms just off the Mexico coast is about to become Tropical Storm Boris and deposit heavy rain on the west coast of Mexico as it meanders Northwest.

In the Atlantic- Some scattered showers and storms are in the Gulf, and conditions appear favorable for development late week. There is a 20% chance this becomes Tropical Storm Arthur by Friday...but it is more likely beyond that timeframe.

Today in weather history- June 2, 1998- In a bizarre weather event, an F4 tornado lifts up and down in the mountains surrounding Frostburg, MD, and nearly tracks through the very highly populated downtown area. Fortunately, no injuries occurred, though two people were killed in Pennsylvania from the same storm system. It also produced a funnel cloud over Three Rivers Stadium, home of the Pirates for many years, during a game...yikes!
