5/26- Hot, hot hot!

Good Tuesday all-

I hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Day- now we're really in the final stretch towards summer break! Today is going to feel like summer- highs will be in the HIGH 80s to near 90 in some places. The one trade off of this is that those bubble-up thunderstorms are very possible this afternoon as it's going to be very humid as well. Moving forward, the rest of the week looks almost completely identical- which means thunderstorms are possible until Saturday- for the next 3 days, the SPC has placed us under a SEE TEXT risk of severe weather! The weekend (thankfully) looks much cooler, but it may come at the price of a very large severe outbreak, so we'll have to watch it closely indeed!

In the Pacific- A low several hundred miles south of Mexico is probably going to develop into the first named storm of the season...but it poses no threat to land. There is a high (80% chance) of development.

Today in weather history- May 26, 1967- A large nor'easter passes over the 40/70 benchmark, causing winds in excess of 80mph along the New England coastline...and stunning the Berkshires by dropping 5-10" of snow! This type of event is akin to a similar thing happening in early September in the fall...yikes!
