Wx Summary
A cold front has pushed south of the plateau, bringing us less humid and more pleasant weather for the start of our workweek. By Wednesday, the humidity begins returning, which means a return to the slightest risk for a thunderstorm in the afternoon. By Thursday that isolated storm chance increases to 20%. A storm system will approach from the west by Friday and that will bring scattered showers and storms to the region.

Drought Outlook
Drought info can be found at my link at https://meteorologistmark.com/drought-info/. That link also allows you to compare this week’s map with last week’s. The maps update each Thursday.
On This Day
1901 – There was a rain of fish from the sky at Tiller’s Ferry, South Carolina. Hundreds of fish were swimming between cotton rows after a heavy shower. (This was likely because a tornado had sucked up the fish earlier)
1929 – First color TV demo, performed by Bell Laboratories in New York City.
Almanac
Hurricane Forecast
The tropics are very active! This is more like a map we’d see in August. One area of low pressure is being watched in the Gulf. It has only a 20% chance of development and will move toward Texas. The red-shaded region will become a tropical depression or storm by Tuesday night. The yellow-shaded region in the Atlantic will be monitored as it crosses the Atlantic and enters the Caribbean later this week.
