Good Thursday all-
Today is going to be much better as the heat finally breaks up more than a bit...highs today will only be in the mid-80s, and it'll get even cooler tomorrow...some areas may not even reach 80...but the price is rather significant rainfall, especially west of, say, Meriden or so. Saturday and Sunday are not looking great at the moment- thunderstorms will likely be around both days and, although it won't be a washout, there will be more rain than we'd like. At least we are not on Cape Cod, though, who will have to keep a close eye on what could be Subtropical Storm Erika spinning off the northeast coast. Otherwise...the forecast is basically the same as yesterday.
In the Atlantic- Other than Erika, which I discussed above, Tropical Storm Danny is basically the same as it was yesterday...except it's now forecasted to be much weaker than before...but that may increase the risk to the US...but let's just wait and see what happens.
In the Pacific- A low near Hawaii could become a Tropical Storm eventually, but I don't really care much about central Pacific storms, which use a different name list than the eastern part of the basin because they rarely effect land. That said...this one has a chance of ending up in Hawaii...so it's worth mentioning.
Today in weather history- August 20, 1991- New England begins recovery efforts after Hurricane Bob hit the previous day, hitting Massachusetts particularly hard, causing $1 billion in damage and causing the coast of Cape Cod to erode some fifty feet, as well as wind gusts as high as 125mph!
