7/23- Big boomers today!

Good Wednesday all!

The weather today is going to be highly unpleasant with high heat and humidity and PM thunderstorms. Unfortunately, some of these storms could be severe and produce very gusty winds and some small hail. The weather, though, will be much, much better and less humid tomorrow and it is going to be rather pleasant excepting the spotty AM shower. Beyond that, the weather appears very boring for me, which is good news for everyone else! The next chance for rain likely holds off until about Tuesday.

In the Atlantic- Tropical Depression #2 was located 550 miles due east of the Lesser Antilles. It has a difficult life ahead of it though, with strong wind shear and a great deal of dry air, and it is expected to dissipate tomorrow...but it may briefly attain tropical storm strength today before this occurs. If it does, it would be named Bertha.

In the Pacific- Let's just say, development is likely...big time! There are currently FOUR areas that have potential for development, and I do not have the time to discuss them here, nor will I bore you with them as they are all no threat to land. For more information, I recommend visiting hurricanes.gov- it is the #1 tropical website for specific information. The next three names on the Pacific name list are Geneveve, Hernan, and Iselle.

Today in weather history- July 23, 1788- A hurricane badly damages George Washington's home, and it causes severe damage in Virginia and the Carolinas.
