Good Monday all-
Today is going to be nice, with highs in the mid 80s with scattered afternoon thunderstorms but nothing that will be too big of a deal. Tomorrow, however, a cold front will move through New England and it could produce severe weather in the evening hours- the SPC has placed all of CT under a MARGINAL risk of severe weather, so it's certainly worth watching. Otherwise, the rest of the week looks incredible with temperatures in the high 70s!? and low 80s with generally partly sunny skies each day.
In the Atlantic- Danny is barely holding on to Tropical Storm strength in the Caribbean, and it is expected to die out later today due to strong wind shear. Unfortunately, another low just behind Danny is probably about to become Tropical Storm Erika, and it's going to travel in much the same areas that Danny went, so the northern Leeward Islands are probably going to get hit with two tropical storms in about a 6 day period...ouch
In the Pacific- Tropical Depression Kilo gave Hawaii a scare for a while...but it tracked far enough west to bail them out, but Tropical Storm Loke is a bit more of a concern- there's hurricane warnings up for the Pearl and Hermes Atolls, located just west of Hawaii. This storm could also pose a threat to...Alaska's Aleutian Islands by the end of the week. Additionally, two lows in the eastern Pacific are likely to develop before the end of the week.
Today in weather history- August 24, 1906- A cloudburst somehow manages to dump Guinea, VA with 9 inches of rain in 40 minutes- a rainfall rate of 13.5"/hr. It's not the hardest rain ever recorded though- that goes to Barot, Guadeloupe, who once received 1.5" of rain...in one minute
