Wx Summary
A weak cold front has passed through the area, leaving us with a couple of nice and dry days. Temps and humidity will be lower both today and tomorrow. By Saturday, humidity begins to return, which also means a return to a chance (albeit slight) for an afternoon shower or storm. That rain rain chances increases a bit for Sunday and then increases to 50% by Sunday and Monday, as a cold front moves in. Behind that cold front, temps will cool off and humidity will drop back down to comfortable levels.

Three-Day Rainfall Forecast
Drought Outlook
Drought info can be found at my link at https://meteorologistmark.com/drought-info/. The maps update each Thursday.
On This Day
1944 – Four tornadoes killed 153 persons and caused five million dollars damage in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. The tornadoes formed during the evening and moved southeast along parallel paths flattening everything in their way. The town of Shinnston, West Virginia was leveled, and was left with the majority of the casualities. Until that time it was believed that damaging tornadoes did not travel across mountainous terrain.
1974 – 1st extraterrestrial message sent from Earth into space.

Hurricane Forecast
The hurricane center is now monitoring a disturbance in the Atlantic. This is more similar to something we would expect in August, rather than June. We’ll see how it develops in the coming days!
