Good Tuesday all-
Today is going to be...rather unpleasant as temps will be stuck in the 80s once more today, with a few thunderstorms likely later this afternoon as a cold front moves through the region. The same can be said for tomorrow- and quite honestly the forecast for the week is basically the same as it was yesterday so I won't bore you except to say that Sunday looks a bit chillier than it did yesterday- we may only reach the mid-80s instead of the upper 80s. We will likely get to July 21st then without a 90 degree day in July. That's impressive!
In the Atlantic- That low that I briefly mentioned yesterday that had very little chance of development did in fact suddenly become Tropical Storm Claudette yesterday-- this morning it has 45mph winds in the far north Atlantic and is heading directly for Newfoundland, but poses no threat to the US despite it's fairly close proximity to New England.
In the Pacific- Enrique still packs rather paltry 40mph winds and poses no threat to land. Dolores, on the other hand, became a hurricane yesterday afternoon, and now packs 80mph winds. It's expected to become a major hurricane by tomorrow as it basically parallels the coast of Mexico, but it shouldn't have much impact on that area either.
Today in weather history- July 14, 1957- The town of Bath, NH is hit by a slow moving thunderstorm packing 1" diameter hail, which is able to accumulate to a 3" depth. That's tough to achieve in New England- usually you see totals like that in the midwest- but it can happen (it's hard to find a weather event that can't happen in New England)
