6/27- Quite nice today!

Good Friday all- we made it!

Today is going to be very, very pleasant with temps in the high 70s/low 80s and much lower humidity than what we had yesterday. Can I rule out a late day shower today? No, but I don't think it'll be much of a concern whatsoever and any that do form will be quick movers. The weekend looks just delightful as well before next week we get into the dreadfully humid weather again and temps in the mid-90s and strong PM thunderstorms, though a cold front may give us a very pleasant 4th of July a week from tomorrow!

In the Pacific- A broad area low pressure off Mexico is likely to become Tropical Storm Douglas early next week, but it is too early to determine where it will go.

In the Atlantic- A low pressure center is trying to develop of the southeast coast of the US and could become Tropical Storm Arthur if everything comes together. This is worth watching, since a northward moving Carolinas tropical storm places us in a bit of a precarious position. I am not too concerned about it because the pattern doesn't seem favorable for a New England storm, but it is certainly worth keeping an eye on!

Today in weather history- June 27, 1901- Tiller's Ferry, SC records fish falling form the sky in a thunderstorm! This can and does happen- typically the result of a waterspout (a tornado over water), sucking the fish into the clouds and then dropping them as precipitation!
