An overall active weather pattern across the nation will continue into the month of July and it is currently resulting in some severe weather across the central Plains and also the risk of flash flooding. In fact, the risks of severe weather and flash flooding will extend well to the east during the next few days and likely reach the Mid-Atlantic region at the start of the upcoming weekend. Low pressure and a painfully slow-moving frontal system will play key roles in the unsettled weather conditions into the weekend. Looking ahead to next week, hot weather will push into the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor by Tuesday and high temperatures well up in the 90’s are likely in the big cities through the end of the work week.

Nowadays, when the people of New Orleans think of devastating hurricanes they think of Katrina, but before 2005, the most notorious storm name in Louisiana was Audrey. It was sixty-nine years ago from this Saturday when Hurricane Audrey slammed into the southwest coast of Louisiana and became the strongest June hurricane and earliest major (category 3) to make landfall in the US. Hurricane Audrey killed hundreds of people – estimated to be somewhere between 400 and 500 - including many of whom to this day remain unidentified and tragically, about one-third of those were children. The high number of deaths - in an era without satellite imagery - were attributed to the storm moving ashore earlier and stronger than predicted while most people were sleeping.
