Today is going to be pretty similar to the last several in that we can expect temperatures to be in the upper 80s with some afternoon thunderstorms. Having said that, of course, I would be remiss to not mention the storms on Tuesday- wasn't that impressive?! I had some large hail at my home in Naugatuck, and it was probably the most impressive storm that I have been in regarding hail. As for this upcoming weekend, it appears pretty good, with some showers and storms likely to impact our area tomorrow afternoon, but high temperatures should be in the low 80s for almost all of the next 7 days...with the exception being Monday, which looks significantly cloudier and cooler- temps will likely be stuck in the 70s with a chance of showers in the afternoon.
The major story right now in the weather world is the tropics. A couple of systems are posing serious development risks. One is in the Caribbean, and another is near Cape Verde. What is interesting is the models disagree dramatically about the one near Cape Verde- the one more likely to develop, but both are fairly likely. Here's the difference...
^^6z GFS showing a massive hurricane near the Bahamas. Ultimately, the storm ends up scraping the outer banks and comes dangerously close to New England.
^^ 0z Euro showing no system at all at the same time period (a week from Sunday- or 10 days).
Which is right? I have absolutely no idea...so let's watch this one closely, yes?
The next two names on the Atlantic list are Franklin and Gert. I think the storm near Cape Verde will be Franklin, and the Caribbean storm will be Gert.
