7/20- Hot!!

Good Monday all-

Today is going to be absolutely miserable unless you like hot humid and hazy weather- temps will arrive in the low to mid 90s and feature mostly bright sunshine, but thunderstorms that are very isolated in nature are also possible this afternoon. This won't be severe (the SPC only has us under a SEE TEXT risk of severe weather) but they could be a minor pain if you don't keep your eyes on the skies. Tomorrow looks to be a bit cooler, but a cold front FINALLY moves through tomorrow night, finally breaking the heat, but it comes with the risk of thunderstorms, and some of these may be severe (but I'm not expecting a widespread outbreak at this time). On a positive note, the rest of the week looks just fine with temps in the low to mid 80s and bright sunshine. An early glimpse at next weekend shows highs in the high 70s/low 80s and bright sunshine.

It's also interesting to note that the Angels/Red Sox game in Anaheim got rained out last night- it's the first time a game in Anaheim has been postponed in over twenty years!

In the Atlantic- Watching your paint dry is probably going to be more interesting than watching the tropics for the foreseeable future (no development anytime soon)

In the Pacific- A low several hundred miles off the Mexican coast will probably become Tropical Storm Felicia later today, but it poses no threat to land whatsoever.

Today in weather history- July 20, 1953- Areas just outside of Dickinson, ND, pick up twenty-two inches of hail! It's not hard to get hail accumulating to an inch or so...but 22"? That's pretty much ridiculous.
