5/15- Nice today, rain tomorrow

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE-

Today is going to be just gorgeous- temps will be around 73 for pretty much everyone with partly cloudy skies! Unfortunatlely, the first part of the weekend does not look great, as showers are highly likely tomorrow morning and evening (the middle part of the day should be dry). After that, the 70s and sunny conditions will stay for the forseeable future, except for Tuesday when rain (and thunderstorms) is likely. At least 85% of the next week does look dry though, so your outdoor plans should be just fine- even tomorrow and Tuesday if you keep your eyes on the western skies.

On another note, today...May 15, 2015...marks the beginning of the East Pacific hurricane season, which runs for the next 6.5 months, ending on November 30. On average...15 named storms form in the basin, with 8 hurricanes and 4 cat 3+ hurricanes. This year's list of names are Andres, Blanca, Carlos, Dolores, Enrique, Felicia, Guillermo, Hilda, Ignacio, Jimena, Kevin, Linda, Marty, Nora, Olaf, Patricia, Rick, Sandra, Terry, Vivian, Waldo, Xina, York, and Zelda. No Andres is in sight though- no development is expected for the next 5 days.


Today in weather history- May 15, 1968- A tornado touches down in...Anchorage, ALASKA!! This is one of only 3 tornadoes recorded in Alaska since records began in 1950
