While Hurricane Debby moves across Northern Florida today, we are sitting in the steam bath today though it isn't quite as bad as we saw last week. Today over Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England it is going to be a hot humid day. Thunderstorm activity however is probably going to minimal unless you are north of Route 84. This is where the Storm Prediction Center has elevated risk for severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and tonight. The area covers much of Northern Ohio, Northern Pennsylvania, much of Upstate NY and interior New England as far north as Maine. As for temperatures here, sunshine should take highs into the upper 80s and lower 90s this afternoon. We will throw in the chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm but activity should be far less than the last several days.

Severe weather risks loom next 2 days Northeast as Debby is a possibility in some form late week

Humidity levels have been creeping higher since Saturday and we are going to be back in the soup for today as well as the week ahead. We will also be dealing with a series of waves moving around the Bermuda high. It is building into the Southeastern US. A southwest flow aloft is bringing up ripples in the flow. It will not be raining all the time but there will be some downpours and a few heavier thunderstorms to deal with during the week ahead.

Very warm humid conditions with waves of heavy rain next 5 days across the Eastern & Southern US

A slow-moving frontal boundary will drop south across the region today and tomorrow, triggering showers and storms today and an area of rain on Tuesday. This boundary extends west to east roughly across Lake Ontario this morning. An area of rain and storms over Canada has moved out over the northern waters of Lake Ontario. This area of precipitation is expected to stay out over the lake until it passes east of the Finger Lakes.

Thunderstorms expected this afternoon and evening

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

As the U.S. sizzles under sweltering summer heat, those hoping for a cool fall may be out of luck. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center released its latest three-month outlook for August, September and October. The prediction shows above-average temperatures are expected in almost every state through the end of the summer and start of the fall. The Northeast and several states in the West, including Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming, all have particularly high chances — 60-70% — of experiencing temperatures that are hotter than usual for those three months. The Mid-Atlantic and the South...

After a period of hot and humid weather where heat indices reached triple digits in some locations, we welcome cooler than normal temperatures for the next several days. It is still summer, though, so sweaters, mittens, and scarves will not be necessary! There were a few temperature records broken over the August 5-6, 2024, period, but surprisingly none otherwise across Indiana. What a nice reminder that we are usually hot and humid this time of year! In fact, the July 2024 average daily temperature (as well as the average daily maximum and minimum temperatures) were very close to normal. Does this mean global climate change is not real? Absolutely not! The key word there is “global” and while the average temperatures for the month were near normal, the variability and extremes illustrate how much the atmosphere has been agitated.

Cooler Temperatures should Settle in for a While

Tropical Storm Debby is expected to dump potentially historic levels of rain and bring catastrophic flooding along its path over the next few days. CNN's Brian Abel reports.

Tropical Storm Debby remains over the waters off the southeast coast line. The storm will move inland and begin to accelerate up the east coast later Thursday into Friday. As Debby moves up the coast, it will interact with a trough moving out of the Great Lakes. This is a prime scenario for western portions of New England to receive a period of tropical-like downpours. Where these downpours set up, and the magnitude of them will come down to a few other factors.

Weekend thunderstorms inundated parts of our area with over 3″ rain, along with widespread power outages.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.
