6/17- Perfect

Good Wednesday all-

Today is going to be absolutely beautiful, with temps in the 80s and bright sunshine. There is no threat of precipitation today. Tomorrow looks much the same, but there's a shower and storm threat in the afternoon, but that's the price you pay sometimes for beautiful weather. As for the weekend, Saturday is undoubtedly better...because by Sunday we'll be dealing with the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill, which means it'll be a total washout. At least we have quite some time before we get there!

In the Atlantic- Tropical Storm Bill made landfall yesterday very near Galveston, TX as a rapidly intensifying 60mph storm. Another 12 hours over water and we'd have been dealing with a hurricane...but that doesn't ease the pain for Texas, who have been dealing with flooding like crazy the last few weeks anyway.

In the Pacific- Tropical Storm Carlos is approaching landfall as a 65mph tropical storm just north of Manzanillo, MX...but that's not all that strong for that region. The active period in the Pacific does seem to be ending, however, for the time.

Today in weather history- June 17, 1859- In Santa Barbara, CA, hot Santa Ana winds actually roast some crops on the side facing the wind...while leaving the other side totally normal. Strange indeed!
