6/29- Not bad

Good Monday all-

Today is going to be pretty nice, with temps in the upper 70s or lower 80s and partly cloudy skies dominating. Actually, that's the story tomorrow...and Thursday...and Friday as well. Wednesday is the one problem day this week as a cold front moves through, and bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms...especially in the overnight hours. The 4th of July is a very tricky forecast at the moment...as a large storm is going to be very near Connecticut. The question is whether it comes in or not. For now...most models are indicating a very narrow miss...but that doesn't mean much this far out...so keep your backup holiday plans ready, as a hit would result in a total washout.

In the Atlantic & Pacific- Monday is bad enough as it is. Don't make it worse for yourself by uselessly staring at the tropics hoping for development (no development is expected in the next 5 days)

Today in weather history- June 29, 1957- Hurricane Audrey finally becomes an extratropical cyclone over the US...however...it will go down in the record books as by far the strongest named storm that ever formed during the month of June with 145mph sustained winds...a category 4. Over 400 people are killed when the storm makes landfall in Louisiana. It's very hard to get intense hurricanes in June...because the water is still being primed by the sun for the summer months. Since the water takes longer to respond to heat than the land...the peak months of the hurricane season are the later summer months of August...September...and October.
