Tropical Storm Arthur and July Heat

July has come in like expected, hot and stormy!  Arthur has spun itself into a storm off the east coast of Florida and forecasts have it sliding slowly northward up the coast before taking off, pushed off the Outer Banks by a cold front that has been trashing the upper mid-west for several days.  Independence Day may be a little damp and breezy on Hatteras as the storm, likely a hurricane by then, just grazes the barrier islands before rocketing into the open waters of the north Atlantic.  Not a large storm, Arthur will likely only affect coastal regions of the southeast, but bears watching...it will likely have winds of 80-90 mph as it grazes North Carolina.
The humid, oven-like air rising into the mid-Atlantic from the deep south just ahead of the cold front will make for a hot July 2nd.  T'storms are likely this afternoon and even more likely tomorrow but the passage of the front will cool temps back into the 80's for the 4th and weekend.
So...it's officially summertime, the hurricane season has begun and the heat is here!  If you don't like it just remember when it was 2 degrees a few months back and we were all longing for some warmth.  This tilted planet will keep changing, cold, cool, hot, cool, cold, cool, hot...on and on and on and on. Get out and sweat a little and enjoy your ride on this lovely planet, today on Earth.
