A hurricane watch has been issued for part of Florida as a strengthening tropical system, soon to become Tropical Storm Debby, approaches the state over the weekend. Tropical Depression Four is forecast to strengthen while moving northward along the Florida Peninsula's Gulf coast this weekend, spreading rain, gusty winds and severe thunderstorms slowly northward. AccuWeather meteorologists warn that not only may the feature become a hurricane, but it may also later stall along the southeastern United States coast next week.

The cutoff low pressure system that made its north through New England Monday night into Tuesday morning. This combined with a very moisture-rich atmosphere and the slow moving nature of the system led to intense showers and storms surviving well into the overnight hours. Storm training, when multiple storms move over the same area, set up across northeast Vermont. This led to a rather extreme amount of rain to fall in a very short period of time. We'll go into more detail on the setup of this storm in a later post.

According to Newsweek, The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued flash flood warnings for regions within the Four Corners area as monsoonal thunderstorms intensify. The warnings apply to portions of southwestern Colorado, northwestern New Mexico, southeastern Utah, and northeastern Arizona, where heavy rainfall is anticipated through Friday. This increases the risk of localized flash flooding, particularly in areas with burn scars—lands previously scorched by wildfires.

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

  A tropical storm is expected to deliver strong winds and heavy rain to Hawaii this weekend, particularly to the Big Island and Maui, as it passes south of the island chain. The August storm has evoked memories of the powerful hurricane south of Hawaii that helped fuel a deadly wildfire that destroyed Maui's Lahaina town last summer, but the National Weather Service said Thursday that Tropical Storm Hone was not creating the same conditions. Separately, to Hone's east, Hurricane Gilma was moving west across the Pacific, but it was too early to tell whether it would affect the...
