Hot, Hot, Hot!

Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog on this unseasonably hot Wednesday! Shew you could really tell today was going to be hot whenyou stepped outside at 11am this morning and the temperature read 82 degrees here in London! This heat is here to stay through the weekend and will increase thunderstorm chances for the weekend as well.

Today will be just flat out hot with high temperatures flirting with 90 in most areas and a few locations may get above 90 degrees! This is mid- July type of weather! We could also see a thunderstorm or two develop today but odds are against it as we have a flat trough in place and also a layer of warm air aloft (CAP). Storms will have a hard time firing up with the trought and the cap in place thats why we're only calling for a few storms to pop later.

Thunderstorms are expected to be over the area for the weekend and look at the GFS is saying for rainfall forecast through the weekend:

Thats up to 4 inches of rain in some areas! Wow!

April was by far a quiet month fo severe weather and I believe it's been the quietest April in years past. I have a hunch on May trying to make up for the lost time so to speak. I sure hope not but likealways I'll be watching it to see what goes on.

Have a great Wednesday everyone and take care! :)
