Good Wednesday all-
Today is one of those days as a meteorologist that you say what you think, bite your fingernails, pray, or do whatever you choose to make yourself less nervous. Here's what we do know- there will be rain tomorrow, the question is how much. It's extremely close between a few scattered showers...and pouring rain all day. At the moment, the models (and I) appear to be favoring the scattered shower solution. Thus, I think that we should be able to eek out without a total washout, but...don't bank on it quite yet. As we look beyond that, hot weather appears to be the norm for the weekend and early next week, as we approach 90 Saturday through Monday...but then a cold front moves through Tuesday night. If it moves through at the right time, that could produce severe weather, but it's too far out to know that for sure. Thankfully, that should knock temperatures back down to normal by the middle to end of next week as an active pattern comes to New England.
Both the Atlantic & Pacific are completely quiet at this time.
Please note that I am going to Fenway Park tonight and spending the night in Massachusetts. Thus, I will be unable to post tomorrow, so my next post will be Friday 6/24.
Today in weather history- June 22, 1947- Holt, MO records one foot of rain in forty-two minutes, establishing the world record for heaviest rainfall over that time period. It would later be tied in Hawaii, but this is amazing to think about...remember it usually takes a full day of rain here to produce an inch, so essentially it's a bit less than two weeks of straight rain falling in 42 minutes. Yikes!
