7/7- Not much to talk about

Good Monday all!

Unfortunately, the triple h's will be the theme of this week- hot humid and hazy! Temps will be near or exceed 90 for each of the next 3 days, and I can't rule out a scattered PM thunderstorm on any day. I doubt that anybody gets more than 1 thunderstorm during these days, though some very unlucky town may be an unfortunate victim. The bottom line is, however, that it won't ruin your day at all...so enjoy them, but stay hydrated and I recommend either swimming or staying inside in the afternoon heat! Beyond that, temps moderate a bit and sunshine is going to occur through Saturday, when the weather returns to what happens the next few days.

In the Atlantic- A low off the Carolinas very near where Hurricane Arthur formed is trying to develop, but I don't think it will succeed due to high wind shear- and the NHC agrees, giving it a measly 10% chance of becoming Tropical Storm Bertha.

In the Pacific- Two things to watch- a low pressure system hundreds of miles off the coast of Alcapulco has a 40% chance of developing, and another one even further west has a 20% chance of developing.

Today in weather history- July 7, 2004- A tornado hits Sequoia National Park...and becomes the highest elevation tornado ever recorded at...12,000 feet above the ground! There is a common story that tornadoes can't occur in the mountains...it is simply not true, and this is terrific proof!
