Yesterday we heated up to 93 degrees at the airport.  Not a record, but hot.   Today will be a little cooler due to the Northwest winds.  Here’s a view of the recent weather pattern:

We tapped into the heat yesterday, but today we cool down a little and dry out a little.  The heat will still live in on in the West and the Deep South though.  The dip in the jetstream will rev up an area of low pressure offshore. 

This will be a Nor’easter type setup.  Yes I said it…Nor’easter.  Something that you usually don’t say on the first day of Summer.  Today we’ll see Northwest winds, but they’ll gradually shift Northeast over the next 24 hours.  This will keep ushering in cooler weather.  (hmm I used to be an usher at the movie theatre).  Anyway, it will create breezy conditions and minor tidal flooding.  There is a coastal flood watch up on the Eastern Shore for this effect.  The astronomical tides are a little higher on top of the Nor’easter type setup.  Tides at Wachapreague are expected to be from 6-7ft.  Minor tidal flooding starts at 6.5ft at that location.  This is not a classic Nor’easter.  We won’t see any storms over our area or even in most Northeast cities.  A few coastal showers are possible.  But this does resemble a Nor’easter pattern.  Highs on Monday and Tuesday will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s.  Average high is 84 degrees. More wacky weather.
