Good Thursday all-
Today is going to be a tad cooler than the last few, but it comes at the price of some PM thunderstorms as a cold front moves through the region today from west to east. They won't be particularly strong--there's a mere SEE TEXT risk of severe weather--but it'll be enough to drive you inside, so keep your eyes to the skies this afternoon. Tomorrow we cool off a bit, with highs only in the low 80s before we turn the heat back on for Sunday and early next week...with another heat wave possible...but there are indications that that may be the end of the summertime weather for 2015. If so, I suspect we'll generally remember this summer as a good one with very pleasant temperatures throughout the entire summer for all intents and purposes.
In the Atlantic- Fred is still hanging on as a tropical storm as it moves generally towards the Azores, who may want to keep their eyes open on this one, but for the rest of us our focus shifts to a strong tropical wave that will probably become Tropical Storm Grace this weekend or early next week as it begins its' westward track to the Caribbean...but who knows what it will do beyond that
In the Pacific- Parts of the Pacific just offshore of Hawaii are under a Tropical Storm Warning for fringe effects of Hurricane Jimena, while TD 14-E finally managed to become Tropical Storm Kevin yesterday, but it poses no threat to land. A low behind it does have the potential to become the next system, but not until early next week as the conditions are not currently favorable.
Today in weather history- September 3, 1961- The people of Denver, CO are shocked by receiving 4.2" of snow, their earliest snowfall on record. Snow in September isn't unusual in Denver, especially later in the month, but it certainly doesn't usually accumulate to 4" this early in the season, so this is certainly an extreme event!
