Happy 4th of July!! May it be a fantastic day for all of you and here's to hoping you don't burn your barbecue!
Today is going to be a typical Independence Day for the most part- mid to upper 80s and bright sunshine, with relatively high humidity. Although it's not great...it's not awful either...especially considering that we were getting glanced by Hurricane Arthur two years ago. Unfortunately, tomorrow is not exactly going to be good- the morning looks like a total washout as a low moves just to our south, but certainly close enough to deliver a soaking rain to all of Connecticut. We really need it though, so no complaining is allowed! We do dry out for Wednesday, but then we head for the 90s from Thursday to Sunday, with thunderstorms a distinct possibility on each day.
No development is expected in the Atlantic. However, both Tropical Storms Agatha and Blas have formed in the eastern Pacific basin. Neither pose any threat to land, and Agatha is dying out right now, but Blas is expected to be a major hurricane in the coming days, far off in the Pacific basin in a harmless trajectory. It's going to be beautiful on satellite imagery though!
Today in weather history- 4th of July, 1956- Unionville, MD breaks the all time record for world one minute rainfall, somehow managing to pick up some 1.23" of rain in 60 seconds. That works out to an incredible 74" of rain per hour!!
