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.

It’s hurricane season, which means we’ve been carefully monitoring the weather recently. Hurricane season starts on June 1st and ends on November 30th, and experts have predicted that this season could be “explosive.” Last month, the first hurricane of the season, Beryl, which was measured as a Category 5 storm, impacted much of Texas. Now, a tropical storm is headed toward Florida, and that storm could affect Disney World.
