5/15- 90 Possible

Greetings-

I'm back and college is over, so my life got a whole lot simpler. I again apologize for my long absense, but I am ready to once more discuss the weather with everyone. The big story this week is the rapidly increasing temperatures our area will experience. With highs heading for the 70s tomorrow, 80s Wednesday, and 90s Thursday! That's about as big a trend as it gets...only to get promptly knocked back to earth. Next week, unfortunately, looks kinda similar to what we had last week, with temperatures very unlikely to reach 70 on most days. Thus far, May has been exceptionally cool, featuring miles below average temperatures and even some snowflakes in Norfolk on the 8th!

Today...May 15th, 2017...marks the beginning of the Pacific Hurricane Season, which will last until November 30. This years list of names is Adrian (which was used about a week ago), Beatriz, Calvin, Dora, Eugene, Fernanda, Greg, Hilary, Irwin, Jova, Kenneth, Lydia, Max, Norma, Otis, Pilar, Ramon, Selma, Todd, Veronica, Wiley, Xina, York, and Zelda. This season will likely be above average for the Pacific basin as an El Nino develops over the summer months, so keep your eyes on this side of the world for some big ones!

There are now just 16 days until the Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1.

Additionally, I will be in Florida from Thursday May 18 to Friday May 26, and will likely not be able to update at that time. I hope to be here every day between now and then, however, and expect to be back on Monday, May 29 (memorial day)
