Good Wednesday all-
First off, I honestly do not know how I forgot to update yesterday...my sincerest apologies!! I'm rather annoyed at myself, but on that note onto the weather!
Today is going to be a real scorcher, I'm afraid. Highs are going to be in the mid-90s and will probably reach beyond that in some places. It wouldn't shock me to see the typically warmer places get to near or at 100 degrees today. Furthermore, there is no risk of rain, which is really, really hard to do on a day that has this kind of warmth, but it just adds to the misery. Have access to an AC and water during the warmest hours of the day today for sure! Tomorrow will be very similar, but there is a risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon, though they will not likely be severe (we have a paltry SEE TEXT risk). Friday looks like it could be a total washout at this time thanks to a coastal low, but plenty of options do remain on the table for that. We should have a much better idea by tomorrow morning in that regard. Temperatures will be knocked down into the 80s by this for the weekend as we say goodbye to July (can you believe it?) and will remain there for the first few days of August.
The Atlantic remains quiet, Georgette has died out, but Frank has strengthened into a hurricane. Additionally, a low way out in the middle of nowhere has some potential to become Tropical Storm Howard. If it does so before Monday, it would break the all time record for most named storms in July ever recorded. It's going to be very, very close.
Today in weather history- July 27, 1943- Flying on a bet, two air force pilots in a single engine plane fly into a hurricane in the Gulf without permission. In doing so, they become the first hurricane hunters, whose data is used regularly in countless advisories and remains to this day perhaps the single most important method of obtaining information from hurricanes in both the Atlantic and Pacific basins.
