7/24- Active Pacific, Rain, and a Beautiful Week Ahead

Good Monday all-

Today is going to be a real clunker of a day with temperatures struggling to reach 70...and in many cases, I do not think that they will succeed. Unfortunately, this rain will be with us pretty much all day today as well, but the rest of the week looks absolutely stunning. Tomorrow looks pretty amazing, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid 70s. Although I cannot totally rule out a shower...I think it's rather unlikely. Wednesday and Thursday look pretty terrific as well, with temperatures in the low to mid 80s, low humidity, and bright sunshine. Friday looks like the worst day of the next 7, with coolish temperatures but showers and thunderstorms likely pretty much all day before we clear things out and set up a beautiful weekend!

The Atlantic basin is quiet at this time.

The Pacific is extremely active, with Tropical Storms Greg and Irwin, as well as Hurricane Hilary. None of these pose any threat to land, but it's worth noting Hilary will likely be a major hurricane and Irwin a hurricane as well!

Today in weather history- July 24. 1942- The all-time record high of 117 is set at Las Vegas, NV. To be honest...I'm genuinely surprised that that area has not seen a higher temperature through the years. I think this record is very breakable, considering their location and susceptibility to have extreme heat in midsummer.
