Wednesday June 3 2020
It’s going to be hot and humid today, perhaps the first 90s for many areas. The severe storm risk is coming into focus and today the bulk of the energy will be north of central Maryland into PA. This means the energy won’t clear the region and be with us Thursday as well. Meanwhile Tropical Storm Cristobal has winds up to 60 mph this morning. It will make landfall in Mexico, then pop back over the water and track to the Gulf Coast this weekend.
Severe Storm Risk
When alerts are issued, please note:
- Watch: Means it ‘might happen’
- Warning: Means it ‘is happening now’
The main threat will be for damaging wind and large hail. Some isolated tornadoes with the focus on central and eastern Pennsylvania.
Afternoon Temperatures
The 90s will be widespread in the big cities, for some the first time this year. The dew points will be rising, making it less comfortable.
Cooler 80s to the north will still feel sticky. Plus, the chance of storms will arrive sooner across Pennsylvania. Those clouds will be holding down the temps.

This model has not performed well lately. The activity may be more widespread than shown here. I am showing this for a gauge on the timing.
