Good Wednesday all!
Tropical Storm Arthur formed off the coast of Florida yesterday and has rapidly strengthened to near-hurricane status. The path remains just to our south by about 100 miles...which is close enough to give us a moderate risk of torrential rain and some gusty winds. Also, there is a slight risk of severe weather today as deemed by the Storm Prediction Center from Norman, OK, which is rather rare for our area. As for temps today, I think most of us reach the 90s with miserable humidity- if you need to do yardwork, your best bet is to do it either early this morning or after the storms later tonight. These storms could well feature large hail, damaging winds, and maybe even isolated tornadoes, so keep your eyes to the skies! Tomorrow looks rather wet, with scattered showers and storms, whereas Arthur drenches us on the 4th of July...go figure! The weekend however looks absolutely delightful, as does early next week, with temps in the mid-80s and bright sunshine both days.
In the Pacific- Tropical Storm Elida dissipated this morning off the Mexican coast, while Tropical Storm Douglas is likely to do the same later this afternoon or tomorrow. New development is not expected
In the Atlantic- Tropical Storm Arthur is the only game in town, and I discussed that plenty above.
Today in weather history- July 2, 1843- Charleston, SC sees an alligator deposited on a major road after a waterspout sucked it up and then dropped it on the city. Talk about strange!
