...Scattered Storms Again Today...
It's looking like another active day of thunderstorms across the area
with a very moist airmass in place and moderate instability. Storms
that do develop will produce lots of dangerous lightning. Remember
the thirty-thirty rule: when you hear thunder within 30 seconds of a
lightning flash, get inside immediately. Stay there until 30 minutes
after the final thunder you hear. Also keep in mind that lightning
victims can nearly always be resuscitated with CPR. Scattered wind
damage reports will also be received. Lucky folks will get heavy
rain, buut watch out for ponding of water on roads.

LOOKING AHEAD: we stay in a moist airmass through midweek, along
with a weaker version of the high pressure ridge we have been dealing
with. This will keep us hot, with highs in the lower to middle 90s
and scattered storms each day. By Thursday, an approaching
disturbance and cold front will lead to organized storm development.
Looks for enhanced storm chances on Friday, Saturday and perhaps
Saturday. A persistent trough could keep us wet and on the cool side
the week of Labor Day.

TROPICS: Disturbed weather over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico
will move into Mexico before it has time to develop. A tropical wave
off the coast of South America could develop into a tropical
depression and head toward the coast of Honduras and Nicaragua, then
the Yucatan and into the southwestern Gulf this week. Should not be
very strong. Look for the possibility of a tropical depression
forming in the week ahead east of North Carolina. It will move
northeast, no threat to land. Late in the week, look to the Atlantic
east of the Caribbean Islands for the next tropical depression to
form. If this one does develop, it will threaten the islands of the
Caribbean, perhaps Florida. Finally, look for a strong Cape Verde
storm to develop around Labor Day, but it will exploit a weakness in
the Bermuda ridge and go north.

ON THIS DATE IN 1949: Weather Bureau Hurricane Forecaster
extraordinaire Grady Norton described this hurricane as being a
category just below that of the great Florida hurricanes. It struck
the east coast of the state near Delray Beach on this date in 1949.
Hurricanes were not officially named for women then. Earlier,
President Truman had been in Miami addressing the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, and a hurricane spawned during his visit was christened
"Harry." When the Delray Beach Hurricane approached South Florida,
newsmen named it "Bess," because it had "more authority." Whatever
it was called, the hurricane was a force with which to be reckoned.
A one-minute average wind of 160mph was recorded at Jupiter
Lighthouse before the instrument blew away. The storm followed the
path of the 1928 Hurricane that had caused horrendous loss of life at
Lake Okeechobee, but levees built after the last disaster held and a
repeat of history was avoided.
