7/16- Better

Good Thursday all-

Today is going to be almost perfect- highs will be struggling to even reach 80 in parts of the state today, humidity won't be too terrible, and bright sunshine is going to be predominant. In fact, tomorrow is going to be just as good as today, but Saturday has a chance of being a trouble spot as thunderstorms are highly possible...but they'll be scattered in nature and won't cause a washout, so don't be too concerned about them. Sunday also looks fine, but storms are possible Monday and Tuesday.

In the Atlantic- Tropical Storm Claudette dissipated yesterday afternoon as expected. Therefore, please don't waste a beautiful summer day watching the tropics for development (none is expected anytime soon)

In the Pacific- Hurricane Dolores has weakened into a category 3 storm, and additional weakening is forecasted as it moves north into much colder waters. Tropical Storm Enrique, meanwhile, has weakened to 40mph, just barely a tropical storm, and it will dissipate later this afternoon.

Today in weather history- July 16, 1987- Just three days after setting a record low of 37, Rapid City, SD establishes a record high of 106. You may be saying "that's not very impressive", and you'd be right- but it's the most interesting thing that's happened today, unfortunately. We need a hurricane to hit on this day or something! It won't be today though- it looks wholly unremarkable nationwide.
