Good Thursday all-
It's rather wet this morning, and frankly I am quite surprised. None of the models really picked up on these showers, but hey it happens. Fortunately, these should clear up fairly soon and the rest of the day should be dry except for a scattered PM storm or two- but the concern is limited and there is only a SEE TEXT risk. Otherwise, we can expect temperatures in the upper 80s and partly sunny conditions- that's not too bad, all things considered! Tomorrow will be better than today with similar conditions except for the rain threat. The upcoming weekend looks fairly awful, with highs in the low 90s, pretty good humidity, and thunderstorms in the afternoon hours. By next week, it appears we may actually dip to the low 80s a few times...that will be super refreshing!
Tropical Depression #6 has become Tropical Storm Fiona in the far eastern Atlantic near the Cape Verdes, but it appears to pose no threat to land at this time. Another tropical wave is going to try to develop over the weekend and into next week. It may take a bit of time to do so, but the next name on the list is Gaston. Additionally, a low in the East Pacific is probably about to become Tropical Storm Kay as it essentially parallels the Baja Peninsula.
Today in weather history- August 18, 1983- Hurricane Alicia strikes Texas, causing $3 billion in damage (1983USD) and killing 13, but injuring 2000. This is one of the costliest hurricanes in the history of the Atlantic basin when inflation is taken into account!
