June 1 2018
Today is the start of meteorological summer and hurricane season. But, once again we have low visibility across our area that is the focus. That is just the result of too much moisture in the air, and as it hats up we will feel the stickiness in the air this afternoon. The heat index will be a factor, but after the morning threshold for area schools to act. We need to just stick it out. While a few thunderstorms may develop this afternoon, the weekend rain is the big story will be new Low Pressure will form over Delmarva. Some heavy rain, plus winds off the ocean will hold out temps back in the 60s by Sunday.
