Good Morning! Summer officially begins today. The Summer Solstice, Longest day of the year. One second longer than yesterday.. Also, showers will be scarce again, at best, today and tomorrow. Widely Scattered storms will be more numerous Saturday and Sunday. Perhaps, more numerous on Monday & Tuesday. Tropical Storm Alberto will make landfall in Mexico today. NHC is also monitoring two Areas to Watch. One off the southeast coast (invest 92-L), and another area of potential future development in the SW Gulf, just behind Alberto. Could we see Beryl by the end of the weekend? Here’s my brief forecast Discussion.
