Heat Wave Today, 5 Tropical Systems

7/20/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today there's a multiple heat waves across the country with less than 1% of the United States under 80° for its high today. Those outliers include the very NW tip of Washington state, certain coastal areas like Los Angeles and San Diego, and the northern edge of North Dakota and Minnesota along the Canadian border, however at least 99% will see temps above 80° and 60% will see temps above 90°. The highest temps are central plains between 100° and 102° stretching from norther Texas, into Nebraska, parts of southern Texas, and all the way north into Montana with 105°F. Another area is near the Mojave Desert in SE California, the southern tip of Nevada, and SW Arizona, topping out at Death Valley with a high of 116° for today, up to 117° by Friday.

The heat doesn't look to break for a few days, as tomorrow the same areas will still see similar highs, with parts of northern California also breaching the 100°, with 70% of the country over 90° and many more approaching the 100° mark.

Stay cool and have water on you at all times.

For the tropics, it's night and day when talking about the Atlantic and the Pacific. While there was one possible system to form in the mid Atlantic with a 30% chance of forming into a TS over the next few days, it weakened and no longer has the energy to sustain its growth.

The Pacific however is another story entirely. From west to east:

Hurricane Fernanda out in front. Yesterday it was 90MPH and is now down to 70MPH today, in 36 hours it will drop even further to a weak TS and by Sunday night it will affect Hawaii as a tropical depression around 35 MPH.
Tropical depression 8E is right behind that at 35MPH. It's slow moving and almost stationary, and it will dissipate before becoming a tropical storm, because:
Tropical storm Greg at 40-45MPH is right behind it and combine with 8E as it first turns into a hurricane late Saturday night before dropping back down to a tropical storm.
Behind that there’s a cluster of thunderstorms that has a 70% chance of forming into a tropical storm over the 24 hours, 90% over the next few days.
And finally behind that just off the west coast of Costa Rica there’s yet another cluster of storms, only a 10% chance of forming into a TS over the next 48 hours but up to a 60% over the next 5 days.

​Nice climate we have here.
