Tropical Storm Erin and Mean Dean!

Tropical Storm Erin will hit Southern Texas as a mild tropical storm. The big concern with Texas is more unneeded rainfall in a water logged state.

That is not the real system of worry. Tropical Storm Dean will likely make it to hurricane strength in the next 24 hours. Current projections have him strengthening to a Category 4 hurricane and threaten the Yucatan and possibly the Gulf with a serious storm threat.

Tropical Season Heating Up

I have not had a lot of time to post but hopefully will be able to do more soon!

Tropical Storm Dean was born as of 11am this morning! He is likely to be a Hurricane in the next few days and could eventually pose a threat to the U.S.

A Strong wave the gulf of Mexico could become a Tropical Depression later today. This one would threaten Texas which is not good!

Stay tuned!

Risk of 100 degree heat has diminished due to abundant moisture

With very high dew points and the risk of very heavy rain showers the 100 degree heat  I was concerned about has been  knocked down to low to mid 90s. It will be very uncomfortable today so please stay alert to the heat and drink plenty of fluids.

If thunderstorms erupt in your area they will have very heavy rainfall and could contain severe winds.

All for now!

100 DEGEREE WEATHER POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY!

100 DEGREE WEATHER POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY!

This will be an impressive and oppressive heat wave with high Tuesday and Wednesday now looking like they could hot 100 degrees. Humidity will also be very high. It is not fun starting summer with a quick rise to the first 100 degree day! The heat should start to lose some of its grip Thursday when we have a chance of some thunderstorms. Thursday will also be uncomfortable but the additional clouds could shave some high temperature readings!

 

If things work right then next weekend we could see a repeat of some cooler readings like we have experienced thus far this weekend!

 

All for now!

 

 

Nice Weekend . VERY HOT WEATHER ON THE WAY

DANGEROUSLY HOT CONDITIONS MONDAY AND TUESDAY!

It is going to be a nice dry weekend, and though it will get pretty hot Sunday, but heat in the mid and upper 90's Monday and Tuesday will be common. There will be a chance of a break in Hot temperatures including temperatures dropping to reasonable levels by next weekend. But it does appear temps will be in the 90's or a few degrees of 90 through Friday. This will be an extremely dangerous heat too as Humidity levels will be very high Monday and Tuesday!

 

All for now

 

Severe Storms on Maryland and Northern Virginia Doorsteps!

A gusty line of severe storms is racing through Maryland and just entering Northern Virginia. High winds have been the main severe activity from these storms. They are moving fast so conditions will rapidly deteriorate for Central Maryland And Northern Virginia!

Severe weather possible today

A strong cold front will enter the region later today. The clash between the hot steamy air and this front which will bring a break in humidity and heat could produce severe storms including hail and high winds. There is a slight chance that a storm could have a tornado.

 

Please stay tuned to radio and news outlets fro watches and/or warnings.

Scattered Storms today. Some Severe. Storms tomorrow and then nicer conditions

There is a good Chance of scattered storms today. Like yesterday there could be severe storms. Yesterday Central and southern Virginia saw numerous reports of High winds and some hail. I suspect more will be present today. Highs in the 80s today will lower to the 70s across the north the next few days. Warm weather will make its return starting Sunday into Monday.

 

All for now!

Not too hot of a week thanks to a Gale Center! Could it become tropical?

Well, a very Hot last Friday has turned to a much better temperature regime! The forecast will remain all week in the low 80s! Some easterly components to the winds will keep moisture around and this could mean afternoon and early evening showers and storms. This is especially true east of the mountains and near the coastal areas. As the low drifts southward and maintains close proximity to the Gulf Stream a sub-tropical low could form. We will see!

Other possibilities in the Tropics exist as well.

All for now!

Barry aided rains will come in at 1- 2 inches at most

The speed of the system is so fast that an inch to 2 inches at most will be the most we see, though some higher amounts are possible from a few thunderstorms.

Much cooler today with highs only in the 70 to 75 degree range at best.

Again, the week will start pretty nice and then the Hazy Hot and Humid conditions will come back by next weekend! A few storms will be possible Monday and then again by next weekend.

All for now!

Barry to mean rainy Sunday Night! Needed and welcome! Then a Cool down!

Very warm and muggy conditions will start to break tomorrow as Barry brings needed and some heavy rains to areas along and east of the I-95 corridor. Areas of Eastern Carolinas could see amounts up to 5" and In eastern Virginia 2-4"! The I-95 corridor will see 1-3" and areas along the foothills .5 - 1.5". Amounts will vary based on some thunderstorms which could also be severe with isolated tornadoes, especially coastal areas! 

 

The Low from Barry will merge with a low in the Midwest area and then pump cooler air from Canada! This will NOT be long lived and a return to Hot and Humid conditions will make there return.. more stagnant air is not too far away! 

 

There could be more tropical activity to watch in the Caribbean as well!

 

Busy times!

  

First Day of Hurricane Season! First Tropical Storm of the Season! Barry!

Andrea was Sub Tropical so this is the first real Warm Core Tropical Storm of the Season. Great for FL and GA Drought Releif!

Well, all for now!

True heat on Tuesday with highs approaching or into the 90s! Today we have scattered storms some of which could become strong. Mother's Day looks beautiful in the north, but breezy as the front makes its way south. North Carolina should still see some storms possible. What will be interesting is the Sunday nigh lows will be in the 30's in mountain regions and the north, but we turn quickly warmer with areas into the 90s Tuesday especially in th south and the Coastal Plain. A front should pass through the region Wednesday and knock highs back down to the 70s. What happened to Andrea? Well she appears to be redeveloping and in a lower shear environment and warmer waters she just may be able to do it!

5/2 Severe Storms Possible in the South today

Areas South of a Fredericksburg to Charlottesville through North Carolina will run the risk of some stronger storms this afternoon. The biggest threat will be high winds although some storms could contain hail during peak heating hours.

Convection should be more moderate north of this region.

All for now!
