Hot Day Part 2

Current temp as of 11am at Lebanon...85 degrees. Current temp in Hanover as of now, 87. Its a hot one. When temps are closing in on 90 at noon, it usually spells out a day around 95 or 96. So we'll see how warm it gets.

There seems to be a little less haze in the sky today, but the clouds are much puffier than they were yesterday. Plus, its not even noon yet, so that makes me wonder about thunderstorm potential later this afternoon. The instability isn't great, but I already see thunderstorms popping up in New York. So chances are some sort of thunderstorm will threaten later today. Plus, I had a headache yesterday, and that usually means some sort of thunderstorm will threaten 24-36 hrs later. Let's see if my head nails the forecast again.. So far this year, it's 2 for 2.

It clearly looks like the heat humidity will extend into Tuesday, before the cold front moves though. Though on Monday, a back door cold front might come thru during the afternoon, putting a cap on the heat for a few hours, and adding the chances for thunderstorms. If we are to get on the cool side of the backdoor front, it will cool into the 70s or low 80s, but I think the front will stay just to our north. Keep fingers crossed. The cool down (if it happens) would be short lived, as the backdoor front moves back thru as a warm front Monday night, and serves as the focus for more thunderstorms Monday evening. We'll have to watch for an MCS again.

The heat will end later Tuesday and Tuesday night, with a chance for severe weather. I'll get into more about the chances for thunderstorms later this afternoon. Enjoy the heat....I guess. :)
