7/22- hot hot hot!

Good Tuesday all-

Heat is the name of the day today and tomorrow! A major warmup is on the way, but it will be humid as well to add insult to injury. Thankfully, some rain is coming tomorrow night with a cold front and it will produce thunderstorms, some of which could be severe. Although I can't rule out a storm here or there today, almost all of Connecticut is going to stay simply miserably hot and humid and likely will not see a drop of rain fall from the sky. Beyond that, the weekend looks just fine, though early next week could feature a round of storms Monday night into Tuesday.

In the Atlantic- Tropical Depression 2 unexpectedly formed last night from a tropical wave in the far eastern Atlantic. It is expected to dissipate near the Antillies without ever attaining Tropical Storm strength, but it would be named "Bertha" if it gets even 5mph stronger wind.

In the Pacific- Two systems have about a 30% chance of developing later this week, but neither pose any threat to land whatsoever anytime in the near future.


Today in weather history- July 22, 1926- A record that would hold for 69 years is established in Connecticut, as Waterbury sees the mercury rise to 105 degrees, which would be the state record until July 15, 1995- when Danbury reached 106.
