Quite honestly, I was caught severely off-guard by the thunderstorms this morning- I did not expect them to linger as long as they did, and it caused them to impact the morning commute. Hey, you learn something every time you get the forecast wrong though, so you take it in stride and move on...and now we begin a very nice stretch of weather, with the exception of Friday- which looks hot and purely miserably humid- highs in the mid 90s...no thanks! Saturday morning could feature some showers, but other than that, it remains to appear partly to mostly sunny for much of the week with temperatures in about the mid-80s, though the majority of areas will fall short of that today- some spots may not get out of the 70s, especially along the immediate shoreline.
There has been little change in the tropics since yesterday, with the most notable event being that soon to be Earl is now basically due south of Jamaica, so just a positional update there.
Today in weather history- August 2, 1975- Bar Harbor, ME, records an all-time record high of 101. When you think about how hard it is to get highs of 100 on the coast of Maine, let alone northern Maine...that's pretty impressive indeed!
For those who do not know, Bar Harbor is located here...
