6/3- Finally a nice one

Good Wednesday all-

Finally, the weather isn't going to be bad at all today! Highs will be in the high 70s and contain mostly sunny skies as the rain FINALLY has moved on out for good. The UV index is 8 today though so make sure you use sunscreen if you go outside today! Tomorrow looks rather nice too...but there should be mostly cloudy with occasional rain showers, and the same can be said Friday. The weekend looks great with sunny skies and high 70s weather on both days...but the start of next week looks rather wet, so let's see what happens there when it becomes more clear.

In the Atlantic- No development anytime soon.

In the Pacific- Andres has weakened to a tropical storm, with 70mph wind and will not survive much longer. On the other hand, remember that weak 50mph tropical storm yesterday? It's now nearly a major hurricane. Blanca now has 110mph sustained winds, which is just 4mph shy of major hurricane strength. The storm, which is in the process of rapid intensification, will almost certainly achieve this today- and will likely be near category 5 intensity by the next time I update this blog. Even worse, this storm likely poses a threat to the Baja Peninsula- but at least it'll weaken before any landfall.


Today in weather history- June 3, 1921- Colorado is dumped by extreme rain, as Boggs Flat picks up a whopping 14" in just one day. The Arkansas River completely floods Boulder, killing 70. An additional 120 are killed in Pikes Peak in a similar event
