Thursday/August/19/2021

Welcome: Good morning, we have a lot to discuss today.

Forecast: Today showers are likely. Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Tonight will have lows in the lower to mid 60s. 

Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy to partly sunny with highs in the lower 80s. Lows will be in the mid 60s. 

Then on Saturday we can expect partly sunny conditions with scattered showers. It will be in the lower to mid 80s. Lows will be in the mid 60s.  

Next Week Forecast: Next week we will be watching the tropics, though I already know it will be humid and rainy.

Precipitation Forecast: We have a 70% chance of showers today and a 20% chance of showers tomorrow morning.

Wind Forecast: 5 to 10 mph. 

Air Quality Forecast: Amazing air.

Heat Index Forecast: Today and tomorrow will be humid, you will sweat a lot. 

UV and Light Forecast: Many clouds so you do not need to worry about the sun. 

Tropical Forecast: We have three areas to watch. 

1. The Tropical Remnants of Fred have been passing to our north and east. Showers are still likely but will be less heavy. Isolated tornadoes are possible today until the mid afternoon. Be aware that a quick spin up may form with or without it raining. 

2. Tropical Storm Henri is the next threat. Berkshire County has been moved out of the cone. However the National Hurricane Center still gives our area a 20 to 30% chance of tropical storm force winds. It also gives our area a 5% chance of strong tropical storm winds. However hurricane conditions are not out of the question. We will need to monitor Henri, a high pressure area, and a low pressure area. These three air masses will interact and decide where Henri goes.

3. Tropical Storm Grace has made landfall in the Yucatan Peninsula. It will restrengthen into a hurricane when it leaves the Yucatan and heads towards Central Mexico. 

Hazards Summary: Isolated tornados today.

Notable Amounts: So far I have received 0.65 of an inch of rain from Fred.

Anything to Mention: Have a great day and be safe.
