7/14 - 2pm - Hot Weather On the Way, Tropics Active

We're slated for some hot weather later this week as this period of dry weather and sunshine continues. The mercury will spike into the mid 90's by Thursday and Friday, with no more than a couple clouds in the sky. Our next rain chance looks to be this weekend into next week.

The tropics are getting active, with Bertha grazing Bermuda and a new depression that looks likely to form. The NHC (National Hurricane Center) has put an area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms 1200 miles east of the Lesser Antilles under a "High Possibility of Formation". This means that the waters are warm enough and conditions are favorable for this area of storms to become a tropical depression. It will be interesting to see what this does over the next 48 hours.

I wonder if the NHC's version of a "high risk" is as pitiful as the SPC's? And as long as it is heat, without too much humidity... No problems. Td=70+ and I want to move to Alaska.
