Good Tuesday all!
Today is going to be darn near a carbon copy of yesterday- beautiful weather for most of the day, but the sunshine will make the atmosphere a bit volatile, and therefore we expect another round of severe weather this evening with hail and damaging winds possible. In a bizarre event yesterday, downtown Boston was under a tornado warning around 5:30 last night, the first time I can ever remember seeing that. Several thousand people lost power in Waterbury last night, as they were badly hit by the storms. Beyond today, the rest of the week looks very similar to today- high temps in the high 80s or low 90s and sunshine, scattered PM storms.
In the Atlantic- No development is likely in the next 5 days
In the Pacific- Tropical Storm Fausto formed last night in the middle of nowhere, and it is still in the middle of nowhere this morning. It is 1230 miles away from the closest landmass, the Baja peninsula. The only area this may get close to is Hawaii. There is also another low I am watching for development, but it too would be no threat to land and is a bit of a long-shot at the current time.
Today in weather history- July 8 (general)- Today is one of only two days between May and August where no hail has ever been reported in Cheyanne, WY.
July 8, 1788- 3 feet of hail falls on Canterbury, CT and causes flooding when it all rapidly melts!
