6/24- Gorgeous for now

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

Today is going to be a typical summer day in every sense of the word. We're going to be blessed with bright sunshine today, and temperatures that should hold in the low to mid 80s. All in all, that's about average for late June, and we should certainly enjoy it! The weekend looks dry as well, and when combined with temperatures that will generally be around 85, that's not all that bad. The rain returns on Tuesday, and beyond that a rather moist pattern looks to establish itself in New England, and in a far-too-early look at the holiday coming up, it looks rather moist. Take that with a cup of salt though- it will almost certainly change countless times between now and then!

In the Atlantic- A low pressure system over the Yucatan is going to try and pull a TS Danielle on us today, though it probably only has a one in four shot or so. If it does develop, it would be Earl (which you may remember from the 2010 season as a major hurricane that threatened New England for quite some time), and break a large variety of different records, but I will post those if it is in fact named later today.

In the Pacific- No development is expected in the next several days.

Today in weather history- June 24, 1924- A candidate for the "that was stupid!" awards occurs here, as six men at a rock quarry take shelter from a thunderstorm, which is a great idea about 99.99% of the time, but not when the building is full of dynamite. Naturally, lightning struck nearby, which ignited the dynamite, blowing up the building and killing all of them. One of the rare times that you are better off outside during a thunderstorm!
