6/9- Great Weather

Good Thursday all-

Today is going to be an absolutely beautiful day with temperatures in the 60s and bright sunshine! Additionally, I believe there is only one chance of rain in the forecast and it lies almost precisely during the overnight hours of Saturday night and Sunday, so we will barely even notice it as we will be sleeping! Honestly...we will be hard pressed to duplicate this weather at any time of year. Highs have a legitimate chance to not even reach 80 during this stretch and...even if they do, they will just touch it. It's truly remarkable for mid-June, so go out and enjoy it!

In the Atlantic- A trough near Florida has a minuscule risk of development, but it almost certainly won't, so it's pretty safe to say the basin is quiet at this time.

In the Pacific- There is no tropical development expected in the next 5 days.

Today in weather history- June 9, 1953- The strongest and deadliest tornado in New England history strikes Worcester, MA, killing 93 people, and causing a half billion dollars in damage all on its' own. The rating on the Fujita scale is a matter of some dispute, as it is officially classified as a very high end F4, but many people would suggest that is was an F5 based on the damage in Worcester. Regardless of its' exact rating, it was a very bizarre event, and we certainly hope to never repeat it again in our lifetimes.
