6/11- The first 'triple H' day

Good Thursday all-

If you don't like heat, today is going to be your least favorite day of the year so far. Temperatures today should soar towards 90 by this afternoon, along with very high humidity and mostly sunny (albeit quite hazy) skies. Thus the 'triple h' as referred to in the meteorological world- hot, humid, hazy (though I like to substitute 'hazy' for 'horrible'). Fortunately, showers and storms are likely this afternoon (some of which could be severe), and we are under a MARGINAL risk of severe weather along the shoreline, while northern CT is under just a SEE TEXT risk. Tomorrow looks a bit cooler, fortunately, as well as less humid. Showers and storms return for Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday...yeah you get the point. It's basically every other day.

In the Atlantic- Waiting for tropical development will feel like waiting for a vacation that's long off- either way, it'll feel like forever (no development anytime soon)

In the Pacific- Tropical Depression 3-E formed last night as expected, and will likely become Tropical Storm Carlos very soon. It's generally heading toward the coast of Mexico, but it's more likely to just barely stay offshore, but they'll still feel the impacts, so if you know anyone going to the west Mexican coast, they should be aware of the situation.

Today in weather history- June 11, 1842- Somehow, parts of Vermont and New Hampshire recieve one foot of SNOW. Ouch! That's really painful at this time of year, and is almost undoubtedly the latest snowfall in many locations, though official records were not kept yet.

Also, it's fun to note June 11, 1877- LA reaches a high temperature of 112, which would be the all time record high...but records there would begin just 20 days later, so it wasn't recorded officially, so it is not actually on record!
