My pictures of Katahdin behind us this
noontime, likely a mix of some that smoke
we were talking about and clouds as well.
Yeah, And sometimes the line between
the two gets a little blurred.
You know, what's been happening is we've
been protected from the smoke largely
because of our upper level low pattern,
which hasn't been the best,
but it's protected us right.
But when it moves, then the smoke comes in.
So it's kind of hard, I'll.
Unless the smoke gets worse than this,
I'll take that, I'll take it.
You know, air quality is a little low today.
We're lucky to live in a part of the country,
but this is fairly uncommon to happen.
A lot of people unfortunately in
the Mid-Atlantic live with air
quality like this quite a bit.
So to put that in perspective,
you can't really see it on the
satellite usually you can't suffer
that high res when I was talking
about we do have some actual cloud
cover into the mid coast as well.
So make sure sun and clouds
the rest of today,
but we'll be watching this front.
Yeah, it's kind of a through,
but either way it's got showers
and thunderstorms along it and
we're going to try to flare more
of those up this afternoon.
Certainly the fact that we already have
some storms out there is promising,
I guess as far as the potential
for some storms later today
being on the stronger side.
So here's 1:00 o'clock,
it's just not far in the future,
but later this afternoon,
this is 4 or 5:00 o'clock.
You can see more of them around.
And so the question is going to be are
any of these going to be strong to severe?
Best chance will be Western Maine,
New Hampshire.
Especially,
and we'll be talking about straight
line winds as well as some small hail.
I've typically found that the hail doesn't
often reach the criteria for being severe.
You need a certain size hail for it to
be considered severe and then it moves
eastward and kind of fizzles out tonight.
And tonight we start clearing out
over western Maine especially.
I think tomorrow is quite a pleasant day,
80 to 85 degrees.
There are some scattered
popup showers around.
They'll be a little hard to predict,
but I don't think there'll
be that many of them.
So I think the net result for most of us.
Is a nice day where it's largely sunny
and then dew points start dropping.
You'll notice it on Wednesday
night into Thursday morning.
One way you can tell dew points are
lower is that overnight lows get cooler,
so you can't go below the dew
point with your temperature.
So if your dew point is 68,
then that's going to be your the
lowest temperature overnight.
And notice these temperatures are in the 50s.
That means the dew points are in the 50s too.
So I think Thursday is a really popular day,
upper 70s to around 80 degrees.
And the dew points will be noticeably down.
As far as the severe weather
risk today the Storm
Prediction Center which is based
in Oklahoma has put us in a
what we call slight risk zone.
So it's not a super high risk,
but it goes back through New Hampshire
and then we call it a marginal risk zone.
In the green notice that the coastline
is is in a very low non existent zone
because unlikely the severe storm will
make it all the way to the coast.
So we get into, after a nice day on Thursday,
some showers on Friday turning into
maybe really kind of rainy by late
Friday afternoon into Friday night.
Saturday's OK,
but it's a good amount of cloud cover
and popup showers would be kind of
living in that zone for a while.
We should be able to get a nice
day on Sunday,
which will be much appreciated I think.
So you see that comfy there on Thursday.
I was just looking at our,
our news director didn't like that these
two overlap and I thought I fixed it,
but it didn't quite.
I'll keep back to the drawing board,
keep working on it.
You know,
as we go back to the human conditions though,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
I do think Sunday is nice.
Saturday is one of those days and Brian,
we've had a lot of these over the
weekend where the farther W you can get,
I mean I drove out to New Hampshire last
weekend and it was like I basically get the,
yeah,
I didn't even have to get to New
Hampshire like I was maybe Cornish and
all of a sudden it was it was better.
So I think we're going to do
that again on Saturday
this week. Yeah. Also I noticed
there used to be two comfy days.
And we're down to one, yeah.
I guess this is a disagreement of style.
I think the first half of
Friday will be relatively, but
then it'll come to you. Yeah. Alright.
So day and a half, Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.
