There is truly no rest for the weary when it comes to tropical activity in 2020. The hurricane season which was forecast to be hyperactive has been, well, hyperactive. The National Hurricane Center named three more storms today: Wilfred, Alpha and Beta. This is the first time in history that three storms have been named within a 24-hour span.
A cold front will sweep through the region this evening, ushering in some of the coolest air of the season. Dew points will fall into the 20’s and 30’s, with high temperatures only reaching the 60’s on Saturday.
Hurricane Teddy continues churning in the Atlantic this evening, with maximum sustained winds of 100mph. The storm has maintained strength today, and recent satellite imagery shows continued bursts of convection near the storms center. The National Hurricane Center forecasts Teddy to strengthen to a major hurricane by Thursday.
The past few days have been sunny, cool and pleasant. You wouldn’t know it though, as smoke from wildfires has obscured much of the sunshine. Hazy skies will persist for another day or so until a frontal boundary swipes the smoke away later Thursday. The weekend will feature cooler temperatures and pleasant conditions.
