On the northern end of the storms, a batch of steady rain and unseasonably cool conditions will spread across the upper mid-Atlantic to southern New England. Sunshine and comfortable conditions are in the offing in most areas from the northern Plains to the Great Lakes and northern New England. Typi- cal July warmth and humidity will hover over the Deep South with spotty storms.

Pilot Andre Borschberg and his single-seat aircraft landed at Kalaeloa, a small airport outside Honolulu. His 120-hour voyage from Nagoya broke the record for the world's longest non- stop solo flight, his team said. The late U.S. adven- turer Steve Fossett set the previous record of 76 hours when he flew a specially-de- signed jet around the globe in 2006. But Borschberg flew the Solar Impulse 2 without fuel. Instead, its wings were equipped with 17,000 solar cells that charged batteries. The plane ran on stored en- ergy at night. The engineless aircraft landed in silence, the only sound the hum of a nearby helicopter. About 200 peo- ple, including the media, witnessed the touch-down shortly before 6 a.m. Later in the morn- ing, Borschberg called the flight an extraordinary ex- perience, saying it marked historical firsts for aviation and for renewable energy. "Nobody now can say that renewable energies cannot do the impossible," he said. Asked what was the most challenging part of the journey, he said it was when he and fellow Swiss co-pilot Bertrand Piccard had to decide when exactly to leave Japan, which he called a tough decision. Borschberg stayed put for about an hour before fi- nally standing and emerg- ing from the plane. Before exiting, he was approached by customs personnel who asked to see his passport. Some in the waiting crowd waved Swiss flags, and dig- nitaries shook his hand. Piccard also greeted him and six girls sang a welcom- ing song in Hawaiian. Ground crews pushed the plane toward a hangar, where a celebratory attitude waited along with leis and hula dancers. The plane's ideal flight speed is about 28 mph though that can double dur- ing the day when sun's rays are strongest.

Borschberg and Piccard have been taking turns fly- ing the plane on an around- the-world trip since tak- ing off from Abu Dhabi in March. After Hawaii, it will head to Phoenix and then New York. The project, which began in 2002 and is estimated to cost more than $100 mil- lion, is meant to highlight the importance of renew- able energy and the spirit of innovation. Solar-powered air travel is not yet com- mercially practical, how- ever, given the slow travel time, weather and weight constraints of the aircraft. The plane is visiting Ha- waii just as the state has embarked on its own ambi- tious clean energy project. Gov. David Ige last month signed legislation directing Hawaii's utilities to gener- ate 100 percent of their elec- tricity from renewable en- ergy resources by 2045. The utilities currently get 21 percent of their power from renewable sources. Borschberg took naps and practiced yoga to cope with the long hours. "Yoga is a huge support for this flight above the Pa- cific: it positively affects my mood and mindset," he wrote in a tweet from the plane on Thursday.
