Mostly Sunny & Hot
M/Sunny & Dry
The Dry and Warm May weather has moved into HOT over the region. Temperatures will warm into the low to middle 90s today then mid to upper 90s tomorrow through the Memorial Day weekend with values around 100 away from the coast. See the FORECAST TEMPERATURES for your area. The dry weather will continue as well for the next several days with rain chances remaining below 20% (and even lower along the coast), but there could be a few isolated mid to late afternoon thundershowers at any given location.
Something Brewing in the Tropics?
That potential activity in the southern Caribbean Sea the computer models were hinting at over the past few days is no longer an issue, for now. However, I will continue to monitor that area since it is usually one of the first region where tropical storms form early in the hurricane season. Since a brief sub-tropical storm formed then dissipated just south of Bermuda earier this week using the name "Andrea", if this one does develops, it would be named "Barry".

This is a new product that I have been watching from Tropical Tidbits Climate Models. This is not a forecast but just an 'outlook'. Keep in mind, the 7 day period is the average of those days with some days above the values and other could be below the values. This is used to get a better idea as to what to expect (maybe).

Moon Dominating Nighttime Sky
The 93% illuminated moon Thursday night. The moon was full Saturday at 5:11 pm EDT. That was the precise time when the moon was 180 degrees in line with the earth and sun. This was also ... by true definition ... a 'Blue Moon' being the 3rd full moon of 4 full moons in a season (Spring ... Mary 20-June 21). That full moon is also known as "The Flower" moon, for obvious reasons ... Click on Picture for Full View ...
