8/12- Head to the polls with thunderstorms

Good Tuesday all- Happy primary day!

Today is going to be a highly typical day for mid August with scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon, and temps in the mid 80s. Tomorrow is the really interesting day though as 2-3" of rain are quite likely for most of our area as a stalled front just dumps us with lots of precipitation. Additionally, depending on the storm track, severe weather is also possible as are tornadoes if everything goes wrong! Fortunately, the threat for widespread severe storms is not particularly high at this time. Beyond that, the forecast holds from yesterday- dry weather and temps in the 80s all days.

In the Atlantic- The tropical wave from yesterday is a bit less likely to develop soon, but it has a good chance when it approaches the Antillies late week.

In the Pacific- A tropical storm is forming off the coast of Mexico, but poses no threat to land.

Today in weather history- August 12, 1901 and August 12, 2000- In a remarkable coincidence, Wildwood, NJ twice receives 3" of rain in 45 minutes on the same date!
