Good Friday!!!
Today is going to be slightly colder than normal for August- which has really been the story of the month so far. Temps have been way below normal (2 degrees- a significant amount in terms of average). The trend has no signs of slowing down either, and it honestly wouldn't shock me if we didn't hit 90 degrees again this entire summer. Unfortunately, tomorrow night and Sunday appear rather wet at this time. A cold front will be moving scattered showers and thunderstorms and the risk will be present pretty much all day Sunday. Don't cancel your outdoor plans for Sunday, but be prepared for them to be interrupted and keep your eyes on the skies. Next week's forecast is questionable, but the best chance of rain appears to be Wednesday and temps will be in the low or mid-80s the entire time.
In the Atlantic- A wave near the Cape Verde's could develop early next week, but is no threat to land whatsoever.
In the Pacific- Tropical Storm Karina briefly became a hurricane yesterday afternoon, but it is back to Tropical Storm strength and should continue to weaken. Also, some development is possible with a low pressure off Mexico
Today in weather history- August 15, 2008- In an incredibly bizarre event, Manhattan is placed under a tornado warning! Although no tornadoes ultimately form, a microburst knocks down power lines in the Bronx.
