Good Monday all!
A rainy Monday is on the way, and I expect quite a bit of liquid to fall today as rain is moving from west to east this morning. There also is the potential of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon, and temps will likely not reach 80...until Friday! Unfortunately, rain is very likely each and every day except Thursday, with scattered showers and storms (some of which could be severe with hail and damaging wind). Lastly, the weekend looks perfect right now, with temps in the low 80s and sunny. Too bad many people in my school will be studying for next week's final exams!
In the Atlantic- No tropical development is coming anytime soon
In the Pacific- An area of showers and storms several hundred miles SW of Acapulco is very likely to become Tropical Storm Cristina in the next few days, but it is no threat to land whatsoever- have no worries!
Today in weather history- June 9, 1953- In an incredibly rare event, and F4 tornado hits...Worcester, MA! The deadliest and strongest tornado in New England history tracks a ridiculous 46 miles, kills 40 people, damages 4000 houses, and causes $53 million in damage. At one point, there was an estimation of 250 mph winds in Holden, MA, which if it were today would indicate an EF5 tornado on the new scale. This is believed to be the strongest tornado in New England, though 3 tornadoes may have given it a run for its' money, all in our region... (Windsor Locks in 1979, Hamden in 1989, Wallingford in 1878)
