Good Monday everyone!
I am glad to be back! I had a fantastic trip indeed, but as everyone knows there is truly no place like home! Now on to the weather, which is going to be rather interesting the next few days. Today will be mostly cloudy I fear, but should stay predominantly dry. Also, I would get ready for some big rain tomorrow and Wednesday. Two to three inches of rain could fall if we are unlucky tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday, and there could even be a round of severe weather on Wednesday if we are very unlucky! Beyond that though, things should settle down. Temps should remain in the 80s through the time period, with tomorrow and Wednesday being my big concern days, as well as the tropics beginning to heat up. On another note, today officially ends the "dog days of summer", as Sirius no longer rises at the same time as the sun.
In the Atlantic- A tropical wave is trying to develop near the Cape Verde Islands, but development will be slow to occur as it moves west and eventually northwest. There is a 30% chance of formation by the weekend of this storm, but it is probably a bit higher after that. For us in New England, the position of the storm could be rather disturbing, but it is WAY too early to think about as, even if it comes, we are over two weeks away from any impact. Remember this happens a few times every year, and it rarely all falls into place.
In the Pacific- Hurricane Julio is located about a hundred miles north of Hawaii and is moving out of the picture as it weakens moving north. Another low pressure near Mexico, however, is probably going to become Tropical Storm Karina later this week.
Today in weather history- August 11, 1968- A dust devil in Bristol, CT injures a girl swimming in a lake when the roof blows off a picnic area and hits her. Talk about unlucky!
