Good Thursday all!
Today is going to be very, very similar to what happened yesterday. I think on and off showers and storms will occur today but some of them may well be severe and contain large hail. To make matters worse, Hurricane Arthur appears to have trended west overnight and looks to be a solid sideswipe for us here. What does that mean? Torrential rains are possible, especially in Middlesex County, as well has some rather strong wind- it wouldn't surprise me to see gusts exceed 40mph. Speaking of Arthur, our friends in Cape Hatteras, NC and surrounding areas are getting a landfalling hurricane tonight, so send your thoughts out to them. The weekend, fortunately, looks fantastic! Highs will be solidly in the 80s and sunshine will be abound. Monday introduces a scattered shower and thunderstorm risk, whereas Tuesday just looks really bad at the moment.
In the Atlantic- Besides Arthur (a cat. 1 with 75 mile winds just south of NC), no development is expected in the next 5 days. The next name on the list is Bertha.
In the Pacific- Tropical Storm Douglas is dissipating some 455 miles southwest of the Baja peninsula. Development is possible next week as well, but it's too early to call. The next name on the list is Fausto.
Today in weather history- July 3, 1974- In a truly unbelievable achievement, the world record 30-minute rainfall is established in Sikeshugou, Hebei, China, who records 11.10" of rain in HALF AN HOUR!
