I’m headed out to Stone Elementary this morning to talk to some summer school kiddos about the weather! I can’t wait to tell them all about the coolest science there is! 🙂
I’ve had a couple of cancellations, and that means there are some seats still available for this evening’s fire tornado class! Registration is required and that form can be found at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdohiaR1Slm0CYWnwhQSi8w0LyY51aAO91OJpffFSabw3FOqQ/viewform

Almanac for Yesterday
TropicsÂ
The tropics remain very active for this time of year! Tropical Storm Bill is packing winds of 50 mph, as it moves northeast and away from the U.S.
The system in the Gulf bears watching, as it will likely be our next named storm. It will impact the northern Gulf Coast of the U.S. Areas from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle are watching this very closely. Regardless of where this makes landfall, and regardless of intensity, enormous areas of real-estate will likely see heavy rain from this system. The good news is that this system is not expected to become a hurricane.
Thankfully, the system nearest Africa is struggling and may never become a storm.

Twister Tuesday
The deadliest tornado in world history was the Daulatpur–Saturia tornado in Bangladesh on April 26, 1989, which killed approximately 1,300 people. In the history of Bangladesh at least 19 tornadoes have killed more than 100 people each, almost half of the total for the rest of the entire world. Poor housing and dense populations are mainly to blame.
Today’s Tennessee WeatherÂ
It’s a picture-perfect June day across Tennessee! Lots of sunshine and low humidity levels will make for a very pleasant day. High temps will range from near 90 degrees in the west, to near 80 degrees in the east.
