May The Fourth Be With You
- International Star Wars Day
1:05 PM EDT 5/4/12
(Forecaster Mike) - Happy Fusion Friday! Many around the country will be seeing
a wild fourth of May before Cinco De Mayo celebrations. Today is also known as
Star Wars Day! So here is our "Imperial forecast" for Friday, the fourth of
May!
"I've got a
bad feeling about this"
Another day of widespread scattered showers and
thunderstorms is likely across the country on Friday. We'll have to look out
for storms stretching from the Upper Midwest into the Central Plains, across the
Ohio Valley, and into the Mid-Atlantic. Another hub of storms is possible
across central Texas. Don't expect a washout day in any one area, because these
will be largely flaring up because of the abundance of warm, humid air east of
the Rockies. One of the metros to watch closely is in our Southeast Pennsylvania zone,
which covers the Philadelphia metro. Stay tuned to your local zones for any
quick updates you may need to hear on possible severe weather.
Hot as Tatooine out there!
The only big
difference is of course the excessive humidity across the eastern half of the
nation. Otherwise, you may feel like pod-racing with the highs in the 80s
stretching from Arizona to Nebraska to New Jersey. Some areas like our Central Mississippi zone, led by Meteorologist Shundra Stewart, may
have a shot at 90º. So much warmth is over portions of Texas on Friday, that
some areas may top 100º across the state.
Cold as snow-covered Hoth?
Well not quite - While much
of the country is in the above average territory a few areas will be cooler
than average. These will be mainly concentrated at each corner of the nation,
in Northern New England, as well as the Pacific Northwest. Those in our Seattle & The Sound zone may
be feeling like they have been on Kamino rather than Hoth. While showers will
not be as common on Friday, another day with scattered wet weather is likely.
Have a wonderful Friday and May the fourth be with
you!
