Good Tuesday all-
Today is going to be a very chilly day compared to August standards as most areas will not reach 80 degrees!!!! In fact, I would be surprised if anybody reached 85 in the next week or more! Humidity is extremely low as well, and that too is a trend that will continue. Overnight lows will be consistently in the mid-50s, which is way below average for this time of the year. In fact, the next chance of rain comes either Friday or Monday- and I am more inclined to believe it will be Monday at the moment!
In the Atlantic- Two tropical waves have developed, and they have some chance of developing this weekend once they reach the Caribbean, but it isn't a great chance by any means. The next two names on the Atlantic name list are Cristobal and Dolly.
In the Pacific- TD 11-E has indeed strengthened into Tropical Storm Lowell just SW of the Baja with 50 mph winds, but it poses no threat to land whatsoever. On the other hand, a low near Panama has a very high risk of developing into a severe hurricane by next week as it parallels the coast of Mexico.
Today in weather history- August 19, 1778- A small hurricane strikes southern New England and damages the coast from Delaware to Maine.
Also, August 19, 1991- Hurricane Bob hits Rhode Island as a category 2 hurricane, becoming the most recent storm to directly enter the New England coast at hurricane intensity.
I am unable to have an update tomorrow, so I'll talk to you on Thursday!
whats up with the hurricane forming??
