Yesterday was a gorgeous day that featured abundant sunshine and a refreshing breeze from the NW. Today is going to be similar, ending the weekend in a sunny note
TODAY: Sunny with highs in the mid 70s to low 80s. Generally calm to light winds blowing from the NW turning around to the W in the afternoon.
TONIGHT: Few clouds move in overnight, lows in the low to mid 50s. Light winds expected.
TOMORROW: Partly cloudy with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Humidity is on the rise. There is a slight chance of a shower or storm in the evening hours.
Monitoring an approaching cold front set to arrive Tuesday that will bring chances for storms, potentially strong/severe, and flooding issues again.
NATIONAL WEATHER
- Thunderstorms continue in the Tennessee Valley and Virginia along the stalled front will bring another round of flooding downpours.
- Tropical downpours for the Gulf States and the Southeast tapping into the tropical moisture in the Gulf associated with upper level low.
- Thunderstorms in the Mountain West and Midwest with wider coverage occurring in the afternoon.
- Low pressure off the coast of the Pacific Northwest will bring showers and thunderstorms to the region in the afternoon.
WORLD WEATHER
- Super Typhoon Utor in the Western Pacific has reached Category 4 status (winds at 150 mph with gusts up to 185 mph) and will make landfall as a strong/major typhoon in the Philippines by Monday morning. I hope locals are prepping and ready for tremendous winds and flooding that is about to occur.
- Henriette is now a Tropical Depression and struggling along in the Central Pacific. She's near the end of her life.
- Cooler air arrives in Europe putting a halt to the heat and relatively dry conditions except for convergence storms in Northeast Europe.
- Few showers in Southern Australia along a front. Sunny across the interior and east.
EARTHQUAKES
No earthquakes at or above M6 yesterday or so far today. In fact, no earthquakes GREATER than M5.0 since Thursday morning. Very quiet. This makes it 16 days in a row without a earthquake greater or equal to M6.
SPACE WEATHER
- Tonight is going to be a decent night for viewing the Perseid meteor shower which is at its peak. They will appear in the northeast sky. It is best to view them away from outdoor lights in a dark place.
- Waiting for a CME that is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field today. Auroras are possible near the poles.
- A large coronal hole is emerging over the sun's NE limb. Increased solar wind by the second half of the week.
