7/17- Chance for 90?

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!

Today is going to be absolutely gorgeous with temps in the low 80s and bright sunshine. Additionally, it won't be humid either, so you can certainly enjoy these temps today. Tomorrow, unfortunately, could be somewhat stormy, but I think the main round holds off until the overnight tomorrow into Sunday as a warm front moves through New England. Sunday should be absolutely boiling, with temperatures potentially well over 90. Will we get there for the first time since May 11? Maybe...but only time will tell!

In the Atlantic- A tropical wave in the central Atlantic is going to try to develop...but the wind shear is highly unfavorable in the far north Caribbean, so it has to do it soon to have any chance at all of becoming Tropical Storm Danny.

In the Pacific- Dolores has weakened to just category 1 strength, and additional weakening is likely through the next day or so before complete dissapation. Enrique weakened to a tropical depression yesterday but then suddenly and inexplicably became a Tropical Storm again. Let's see if it's a good tropical cyclone and actually dissaptes this time

Today in weather history- July 17, 1987- The Guadelope River in Texas floods, overtaking a school bus and van returning from a summer camp, which get swept away along with the 43 people inside them. Fortunately, 33 of them are rescued from tree tops, but 10 tragically drowned in the nightmare scenario. This is why everyone needs to remember the old flood motto "Turn around--don't drown!"
