Bonnie Is Named, But Bye, Bye, Bonnie...

As we begin July, the Tropics have lots of activity, but nothing that is a threat to the U.S.   NHC finally upgraded PTC # 2 to Tropical Storm Bonnie on their 11 AM advisory, but she will be inland later tonight.  As Lee Zurik would say, "but there's more!"  Bonnie will re-emerge into the Pacific and likely become a Hurricane later next week.   Since she won't lose her circulation going over central America, Bonnie will keep her name in the Pacific.

All the other tropical activity isn't likely to develop so the fist 1-2 weeks of July look quiet.

The disturbance crossing the Islands remains disorganized and is given a low (10%) chance to form.  Invest 95- L over the western Gulf has moved inland into western Louisiana, but another weak swirl has shown up off of South Carolina.

Since no fronts are coming, we'll stay in a soupy, tropical airmass through the weekend with above normal clouds & showers.  As the system over western Louisiana lifts away by Sunday, shower chances might decrease.

Anytime dew points get into the mid to upper 70s, it really feels humid even with temps in the 80s.

All the clouds & showers kept us below 90 again.  The final figures for June made this the hottest June ever at MSY as Nicondra showed us at 4 PM.

Tomorrow looks to have the highest rain chances for the next 7 days, but there won't be any totally dry days as daily T-Storms should bubble up.   Enjoy your holiday weekend & stay tuned!
