Good Wednesday all-
Today is going to be quite a bit wetter than I expect yesterday. The front has stalled out just barely to our east, and so rain showers will be prevalent through much of the day today, which is absolutely fantastic news as we really need the precip- most of the state is hovering at around 6" below normal for 2016. Some of these showers could be rather heavy, so bring an umbrella! As for tomorrow, I expect dryer weather and we'll lose at least some of the humidity, but not all of it- it's tough to get a low-humidity day here practically in July. When we say hello to the new month on Friday, it'll be showery again- similar to today, quite honestly. The rest of the weekend leading up to and including the 4th of July looks dry.
No development in the Atlantic is expected anytime soon
In the Pacific- That low I discussed yesterday is now by far the most likely system to date to become Agatha at some point in the coming week or so as it moves through favorable conditions and parallels the Mexican coastline. At the moment, it's too early to know whether it poses any threat to the Baja Peninsula.
Today in weather history- June 29, 1931- Monticello, FL reaches 109, the state record for Florida. Combined with the humidity they regularly experience there...yikes.
Also, June 29, 1987- Mt. Evans, CO manages to receive 6" of heavy snow. Although exceedingly rare, it's not out of the realm of possibility for this to happen as the highest elevations of Colorado probably only average 40-50 degree highs in the middle of summer. In fact...when I went to Rocky Mountain National Park in August...I experienced a heavy sleet event. Thus...if you like warm weather...the mountain peaks of Colorado are not the place to go!
