Good Tuesday all-
There is a SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER for the entire state.
Well, this is going to be fun today...a warm front is stalled out to our west and there is strong wind shear present in the lower levels. What does that mean? Well, it means strong to severe thunderstorms are likely today...and they include the possibility of tornadoes. Actually, for the first time in a long time, I am more concerned about the risk of tornadoes than otherwise damaging winds...though hail is also quite likely in some of the stronger cells that develop throughout the day today. These showers will be possible at any time, but are especially likely during the afternoon and evening hours, beginning around 1 or 2. The good news is that after today...we have no threat of precipitation until Saturday. As for temperatures, they will remain in the mid to upper 80s throughout the next 7 days.
A low near the Cape Verde Islands is about to become Tropical Storm Fiona, but it does appear heading generally off to the dead zone that is the central Atlantic...but you never know, and given its' location it always pays to keep an eye on it as Cape Verde type storms tend to be the most powerful variety. The Pacific remains quiet at this time, though some development off Mexico is possible at the end of the week
Today in weather history- August 16, 1909- San Bernadino, CA begins a remarkable stretch of dry weather, as no rain falls on this day...or any other until May 6, 1912!! That's nearly 3 years without a single drop of rain...and you thought our drought was bad!
