6/5- Quick but hard hitting rainstorm today

Good Thursday all!

Today is going to be the tale of two halves...the first half is a total washout. It may not be raining yet...but be ready! In fact, I expect as much as one inch of rain in the next five hours, but it will likely be all gone by around noon, leaving mostly cloudy skies for the afternoon today. For my outdoor field trip today, it is still the tale of two halves, but we should be able to get it in as long as we are ready to get a bit damp. Beyond today, the weekend looks fantastic!! The temps will be in the mid-80s and very sunny both days- perfect weather both days! The next washout day in the forecast appears to be Wednesday.

In the Pacific- Tropical Development is not expected in the next 5 days

In the Atlantic- The same holds true from yesterday, but there is only a 20% chance of development in the next 5 days because it will move inland over eastern Mexico early next week. I'd be more concerned for development around Wednesday or so when it moves back over the water

Today in weather history- June 5, 1859- A shocking freeze hits New England, as temps in Connecticut reach the mid-20s, and Ohio receives snow!

Also, June 5, 1995- The earliest hurricane to hit Florida occurs as Hurricane Allison hits Apalachee Bay causing minimal damage
