Good Friday all- HAPPY WEEKEND!
Today is going to be a fabulous day, as temps barely reach the low 80s and humidity will be quite low. Additionally, we "think" a beautiful weekend is coming. While Saturday is pretty much guaranteed to be very nice with temps comfortably in the 80s and partly cloudy conditions, Sunday is difficult, however, as an odd July nor'easter tries to hit us and give us a soaker. I am confident it won't succeed, but I am not at all confident we'll stay dry through the day. Either way, Monday we go back to hot and humid and, by Tuesday, approach 90 with showers and storms on the way, a feat which is duplicated on Wednesday.
In the Atlantic- Tropical development is not expected anytime soon.
In the Pacific- Tropical Storm Wali formed in the central Pacific yesterday 1030 miles ESE of the big island of Hawaii. Unfortunately, the storm is heading directly for that area and, while it is unlikely they experience tropical storm conditions, the surf will certainly be up, etc. For those wondering, the Central Pacific uses a unique naming system in which they rotate 3 name lists consecutively and do not reset them after the season, because storms forming in this region are relatively rare (About 2-3 annually is typical). Thus the name "Wali", which starts with a W, can be the first name of their hurricane season.
Today in weather history- July 18, 1986- A bizarre photogenic tornado dances across the Minneapolis, MN suburbs and is captured on live TV for 30 minutes, an extreme rarity for that time. The tornado is rated EF3, and the video can be seen here.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families effected by the crash of Malaysia 17.
