Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Bag Leone here in the W R L Severe Weather center. Happy first day of meteorological summer. Also hurricane season starts today when we talk about the meteorological summer versus the summer solstice there that starts on June 21st. We like to look at June, July and August as typically the hottest months of the year and it helps us when we can have a consistent those three months. That's when we look at summer as far as our forecasting climate normals, all that kind of stuff versus the summer solstice, which can vary a little bit year by year. So basically consistency, the temperature profile where it's hot. That's why we consider it meteorological summer, the actual summer solstice here is on June 21st at 10 57 AM. Nonetheless here though it's going to feel warm for us as we head into today, we do have one tropical area to talk about here now that it is the hard to believe start of hurricane season, this one has a 20% chance of development. It's located there in the Gulf of Mexico, not likely to develop at this point. It does have a lot of wind shear to deal with. But we will watch here. The hurricane hunters may go out today just kind of as needed and we'll watch for that update from them here at home. We're talking temperatures near 80 for most of us today. And, uh, we could see an isolated shower possible, a mix of sun and clouds. It should actually be a pretty nice forecast, very similar to what we saw yesterday and no really big systems on the way. Here's Future Cast we go through today. It looks like mostly cloudy skies early and then a mix of sun and clouds as we head into this afternoon. I think future cast is even a little bit overdone with that cloud cover. We should see some peaks of sunshine. There's that straight shower potential this afternoon into the evening, minimal at best and then again into tomorrow, we do have that chance for a passing shower, especially during the morning hours and then it should actually be a fairly nice forecast. Once again tomorrow, we're at 83 on our Friday 88 on Saturday. So it will be hot to start the weekend. A cold front comes through and then drops temperatures to 76 by Sunday. There's where we're headed. You notice there definitely is a warming trend here into the early part of the weekend. We drop behind the cold front there at 76 on Sunday and spotty rain chances here Thursday. Friday, maybe into Saturday. But for the most part here, if you have plans, I wouldn't cancel anything. It's just very, very hit or miss coverage. And then into next week we go back up into the low to mid eighties.
