Good Thursday all-
First off, sorry for not updating yesterday, I was at Citi Field on Tuesday night and slept long enough that anything I wrote would have been useless as plans would have already been made, etc.
On that note, today is going to be a beautiful day with highs in the mid-80s and bright sunshine throughout other than a few of the typical fluffy cumulus. To be honest, I am not going to waste your time with typing much more. The only chance for precipitation in the next week or more is on Saturday, which will likely feature a line of showers and thunderstorms. More rain could be about a week away from now, but that's so far out there, let's not focus on that. The rest of the way, we're going to have highs in the 80s and partly sunny conditions.
Tropical Storm Earl became Hurricane Earl just before landfall in Belize, which it did this morning as a category 1 storm with 85mph winds, the first hurricane landfall in the country since 2010's Hurricane Richard. This morning, it's maintaining hurricane intensity (barely) inland pretty much over Belize City. The system will pass through southeast Mexico and ultimately end up in the East Pacific basin, where it could develop(!)- if it does, it would be given a new name- in this case Javier- as it heads towards a direct and final landfall on the Baja Peninsula about a week from now- way out there!. Tropical Storm Ivette is in the basin as well, and it could become a hurricane in time, but it poses no threat to land.
Today in weather history- August 4, 1980- After a ridiculous (and record) forty-two consecutive 100 degree days, Dallas fails to reach the mark. The month of July that year had a mean temperature of 92 degrees, far and away the record for that location.
