Warmer for Friday

Despite some cloud cover, temperatures will continue to turn warmer for Friday and into the weekend. Some fog will likely be around during the late night and morning hours both Friday and Saturday. Otherwise, expect temperatures to reach close to 70 Friday and into the low 70s Saturday. There may be enough moisture to spark isolated showers Saturday. Right now, it looks like the best chance for some scattered showers will be Sunday. Highs Sunday are likely to be a little lower, in the mid to upper 60s.

After a mild New Year's Eve Monday, the coldest surge of air this season so far will move in on New Year's Day along with gusty northwest winds. It will be quite cold Tuesday night through Wednesday night; currently it looks like highs will struggle to get into the 40s Wednesday with lows well down into the 20s both Tuesday night and Wednesday night. Lows in the teens may occur in some areas away from the coast.

Turning Milder to Finish the Week

Cloud cover stuck around to keep it chilly on Wednesday. Expect a combination of warmer air and some sun on Thursday to bring our temperatures up a good bit. It looks like we should reach the mid 60s during the afternoon.

A series of disturbances will approach the area through Saturday and die out to our west, with some cloud cover affecting the area both Friday and Saturday. Despite some clouds, it looks like the air mass will be mild enough to support highs near 70. There is just a slight chance of showers for the beginning of the weekend, with a better looking chance on Sunday.

Drying Up on Wednesday

Low pressure causing the rain Christmas Night will push northeast away from the Coastal Empire and Low Country. Clouds will linger into Wednesday, giving way to sunshine from southwest to northeast. Highs Wednesday will average near 60. Wednesday night will be fair with lows around or just under 40. Thursday will offer a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 60s.

A warming trend will continue on Friday and a series of disturbances will mostly pass by to our northwest over the weekend. Some clouds will move through the area, with only slight chances of showers. Most of the time it will be either a mix of clouds and sun or mostly cloudy with highs in the low 70s Friday and Saturday.

Some Rain on Christmas Day

Low pressure will develop to our east Tuesday and intensify as it moves northeast Tuesday night. Some rain is likely to develop in our area Tuesday afternoon and continue during the evening. The rain should move north of our area around midnight. The low will be moving away from us as it gets stronger, so the heavier rains associated with this system should occur further up the coast in South and North Carolina.

Temperatures should reach the mid to upper 50s Tuesday before the rain begins. Lows Tuesday night will be in the low 40s. Some sun should return Wednesday, with highs reaching near 60. A warming trend appears in store for Thursday and Friday.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Tropics:

The National Hurricane Center has issued its last advisory on Hurricane Noel, although the system remains an intense winter-type low pressure area as it moves north-northeast, parallelling the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastline. When a system transitions from tropical to non-tropical, the wind field spreads out more to the west of the storm center. Therefore, coastal locations of the northeast are in for a very windy Saturday. The storm should move into the Canadian Maritimes with hurricane force winds Saturday night.

A Nice Fall Weekend

For today, we will have a lot of sunny with breezy conditions. The high will be in the lower 70’s. Hurricane Noel will produce gusty winds along the coast with high surf and rough seas. A gale warring is in effect for today. For tonight, it will be a great night for football games; with clear skies lows will be 46-50. Saturday and Sunday we’ll have sunny blue skies with highs 72-74. I don’t see much in the way of rain anytime soon. The first of next week will be warm, but a strong cold front will pass through late Monday, the front will bring the coldest air of the season by Wednesday. Have a good Weekend!!

Tropics:

Hurricane Noel:

Noel is a hurricane this morning, but will become an extra-tropical storm by tonight/Saturday. Noel will bring strong winds to the New England coast by late tonight and Saturday. As Noel lifts northeast today it will run into cooler water temperatures and strong upper level winds. Since Noel will become extra-tropical, a much lager area will be affected by strong winds. In a hurricane the strongest winds are around the center (eye) of the storm, but for an extra-tropical low the winds are spread out much further away from the center. That is why there will be a much larger area affected by Noel. That was a little Meteorology 101 for you today.

Cooler and Breezy for Friday

The combination of a new area of high pressure building in to our north and "Noel" passing well to our east Friday will produce breezy conditions for our area, mainly along the coast. Otherwise, expect a good amount of sunshine and cooler temperatures for Friday, with highs struggling to get above 70. Friday night lows will drop to 45-50 under mostly clear skies. The weekend will be sunny with highs in the low 70s and a chilly Saturday night low in the 42-45 range.

Tropics:

"Noel" has become a category one hurricane and will continue to move quickly north -northeast on Friday, away from the Bahamas and staying well to our east. Still the combination of north flow behind the storm and new high pressure building in could produce gale force gusts over the outer portions of the coastal waters. The storm itself will transition to and strengthen as a very large winter-type low as it heads north, and latest track models show it bringing very windy conditions to portions of the northeast Saturday and possibly tracking into the Canadian Maritimes Saturday night with hurricane force winds and heavy rain.

Warm First Day of November

We will start the month of November off warm. For today, there will be a mix of sun and clouds with warm afternoon temperatures. The high for today will be 78-80. For tonight, we’ll have mostly clear skies and cooler temperatures. The low will drop down into the mid 50’s. A cold front will pass through the area early Friday morning. The front will bring much cooler air for Friday into the weekend. For tomorrow, there will be mostly sunny skies with highs about 10 degrees cooler than today. The high will be near 70. The weekend will be very nice with a lot of sun. The highs will be 72-74, and lows in the mid 40’s. Enjoy the warm weather today!

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel:

Tropical Storm Noel is producing flooding rain for the Bahamas today. Noel is producing 60 mph winds, and is now turning to the northeast. The tropical storm watch for Florida has been cancelled. Noel will get pick up by a cold front late Friday. Noel will become a non-tropical system by Saturday. The effects from Noel in our area will be the seas along the coast will be high. There is a small craft advisory that is up for the coastal waters. There have been 80 deaths from tropical storm Noel since Saturday.

Still Some Clouds, Breezy

We'll see another day of some clouds in the area. There is a slight chance of a coastal shower overnight and into Thursday morning. A cold front will arrive late Thursday and clear out most of the clouds for Friday and the weekend.

Highs Thursday should reach the upper 70s, with lows dropping to the mid to upper 50s Thursday night. Friday will be cooler, with highs in the low 70s. Expect highs in the low 70s over the weekend with lows in the mid to upper 40s.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel will move north from Cuba tonight and Thursday and then turn northeast and accelerate out to sea Friday and Saturday. The expected track will keep the storm center off the south Florida coast, but some rain and gusty winds can be expected there as the system passes by. The worst of the heavy rain and strong wind gusts will be felt east of the center, over the central and northwest Bahamas.

Clouds Return, Staying Breezy

Clouds are moving back into the area and will be with us for Wednesday. It looks like there will only be a slight chance of a shower Wednesday and Wednesday night, so conditions should be okay for the trick-or-treaters. Highs Wednesday will reach the low to mid 70s. It will continue to be breezy as we remain between high pressure to the northeast and low pressure well to the south.

Expect a mix of clouds and some sun Thursday, with a cold front arriving late Thursday to push out most of any remaining clouds. Highs Thursday should reach the mid 70s. Seasonably cooler air will arrive behind the front for Friday into the weekend; highs will be mainly in the low 70s.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel is meandering west over Cuba. In the next couple days, the system will get picked up by upper-level winds developing ahead of the cold front, and get pushed northeast and out to sea. Before then, some heavy downpours and gusty winds will affect portions of Cuba, the Bahamas, and southeast Florida.

A Nice Fall Day

For today, there will be a lot of sun in the morning with some clouds by the afternoon. The high will be in the lower 70’s. The breezy conditions along the coast will continue today. For tonight, we’ll have patchy clouds with lows in the mid 50’s. On Halloween there will be some sun in the morning then becoming mostly cloudy in the afternoon. The high for Wednesday will be near 74. The trick or treat forecast will be mostly cloudy with a slight chance for a shower. The low will be near 60. A cold front will pass through on Thursday clearing things up for the weekend.

Tropics:

Tropical storm Noel will continue moving west today then turn northwest by tomorrow. Most of the computer models show Noel turning north and missing the United States. In our area we will continue to see gusty winds from a high to the north and Noel moving through the Bahamas. Noel will become a non-tropical low by the weekend.

Onshore Breezes to Continue

Gusty breezes will continue out of the east-northeast through at least Thursday. Temperatures will top out near 70 on Tuesday with some sun, but clouds likely increasing again along the coast. It looks like it will be mostly cloudy Tuesday night and Wednesday, with highs Wednesday in the low 70s. There may be a couple showers on Wednesday. Thursday will offer a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 70s, then look for skies to become mostly sunny by the weekend, along with pleasant days and seasonably chilly nights.

The gusty breezes will continue to cause high surf at the beach and Small Craft Advisory conditions out over the waters.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel should move between west-northwest and northwest, roughly parallel to the coast of Cuba, affecting the Bahamas. Wednesday and Thursday the storm should turn to the north and northeast, ahead of a cold front, which will keep the effects of the storm well away from us. The storm may brush south Florida before heading out to sea to the northeast.

A Breezy Day

For today, there will be lots of clouds in the morning with some sun in the afternoon. The high will be in the upper 60’s. It will be breezy today with a strong high pressure north of the area. The high will create gusty northeast winds today. There is a possibility of shallow coastal flooding during times of high tide. For tonight, we’ll have patchy clouds with cool temperatures. The lows for tonight will be near 50. Tuesday through Friday there will be a mix of sun and clouds. A warming trend will start tomorrow with highs in the lower 70’s. By the middle of the week temperatures will be in the mid 70’s. Have a good week!


Tropics:

Tropical Storm Noel (Knoll) developed this weekend just south of Haiti. The storm brought flooding rain to Haiti over the past two days. The tropical storm has lost some strength this morning. The storm will move into Atlantic and move over the Bahamas on Tuesday into Wednesday. A cold front will move off the southeast coast by the end of the week. The front will push the tropical storm northeast by Thursday.

Mostly Dry This Weekend

Some spots will see some drizzle overnight, otherwise the rain has pulled out of the area. Drier air will work in from the west on Saturday, trying to bring some sun. The best chance to see sun will be inland areas, while the coast will be harder to clear, but hopefully will get to see some sun sometime in the afternoon. Highs Saturday will be mainly in the low 70s.

High pressure will build in from the northwest Sunday and Monday, resulting in a breezy northeast wind. Expect highs to reach the low 70s. The onshore flow will keep some clouds around heading into the new week. Also, the onshore wind combining with astronomical high tides due to the recent full moon could cause some beach erosion early next week.

A Wet Friday

We have received some rain this morning. The rain will stay with us through the afternoon. For today, there will be a good chance for showers. The high will be near 72-74. For tonight, we’ll have mostly cloudy skies with a chance for showers. The low will be near 62. Saturday there will be lots of clouds in the morning with a chance for a few showers. We may see the sun on Saturday afternoon. The high will be in the lower 70’s. Sunday there will be a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 72. A strong high-pressure system will build out of the northeast. We will have cool northeast winds on Monday. There will be a mix of sun and clouds with highs only near 70. Have a good weekend!

Wet on Friday

A front offshore will creep back to the west some overnight into Friday, allowing for rain to develop along the coast. Some rain could be heavy at times Friday along the coast, while some inland areas could see no rain. Temperatures will just reach the low 70s along the coast, with some mid to upper 70s inland. Drier air should move back in Friday night and Saturday, and some sun could come out Saturday as well. Highs should be in the mid 70s Saturday. Onshore breezes should result in mostly cloudy skies Sunday, and possibly a coastal shower by the end of the day. Highs Sunday should be in the low 70s.

Cooler Temperatures

A cold front passed through the area yesterday, which brought some cooler weather. For today, there will be lots of clouds in the morning then some sun in the afternoon. The afternoon high will be 72-75. For tonight, we’ll have cloudy skies with showers developing late. The low will drop down to near 60. Friday will be a wet day with a good chance for showers in the morning into early afternoon. The high will be in the lower 70’s. Saturday there will be a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 70’s. The clouds will roll back into the area for Sunday. The high on Sunday will be cooler, near 72.

Cooler Air Pushes In

A complex weather pattern will keep occasional chances of rain in the forecast. After some wet weather Wednesday, we saw temperatures drop a few degrees and this cooler air will linger the next few days, especially with a fair amount of clouds around. Thursday looks dry, as the front that caused the rain pushes a little to our east. The amount of sun that we will see is questionable. A little sun should get our temperatures into the low to mid 70s. The front will creep back closer to us Thursday night, renewing some shower chances into Friday. Highs Friday should reach the low to mid 70s. Drier air should return for Saturday, with highs reaching the mid 70s under clouds and areas of sun. Onshore breezes will then increase moisture once again Sunday, with a chance of showers by the end of the day. Some wet weather looks likely for the beginning of the new week.

A Wet Day

For today, there will be more clouds than sun with a good chance for showers. The rain may be heavy at times, and there will be a chance for a thunderstorm. The high will be near 80. For tonight, we’ll have cloudy skies with a good chance for showers. The low will be in the mid 60’s. A front will stall out just off the coast. The front will allow for a chance of showers Thursday and Friday. I’m going with a rain free forecast for the weekend, but some of the computer models show showers along the coast for Saturday and Sunday. The high temperatures for the weekend will be in the mid 70’s.

Wet Weather Chances

A complex system will affect the east the next few days. A front will approach from the west Wednesday, bringing a good chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Temperatures should be a little lower than Tuesday due to increased cloud cover, topping out near 80 degrees. Shower chances will continue Wednesday night. Indications are some drier air may move in from the southwest on Thursday, cutting down on rain chances that day. We may see another chance of rain Friday. Highs should be a little lower Thursday and Friday, mainly in the mid to upper 70s. Lows should drop into the mid 60s.

A Warm Day

For today, there will be a mix of sun and clouds with very warm temperatures. The afternoon high will be in the mid 80’s. There also will be a slight chance for showers. For tonight, we’ll have mostly cloudy skies with a chance for showers. The low will drop down into the lower 70’s. Wednesday through Friday there will be cold front moving closer to the area, the front will stall out across the southeast. The front will bring a good chance for showers and storms. The rain may stay with us into Saturday.

Scattered Wet Weather This Week

We will see above average temperatures and humidity this week, with a storm system remaining nearly stationary in the Ark-La-Tex region. The best chance of rain will remain to our west, but we will be in a moist southerly flow, which will likely cause some scattered showers and t'showers to develop each day. Chances for rain look better on Wednesday than Tuesday, then a little lower at the end of the week.

Temperatures will reach the low to mid 80s the next couple days, then cool slightly to the upper 70s for the end of the week. Lows will be near 70 through Wednessday morning, then drop to the mid to upper 60s for the end of the week.

Lots of Clouds Today

For today, we’ll have more clouds than sun with scattered showers. The highs will be in the lower 80’s. For tonight, there will be mostly cloudy skies with lows near 70. Through much of the workweek there will be lots of clouds with scattered showers. The highs will be near 82-84. A cold front will pass through late Wednesday that should clear things up for the end of the week. The front will allow for temperatures to drop back down closer to seasonal averages.

Beautiful Weekend Ahead

Showers and thunderstorms did not affect the area on Friday as we originally thought. A front will move through overnight, ushering in lower humidity for the weekend. Daytime highs will still be warm, reaching the low to mid 80s. Nighttime lows will drop to the low 60s overnight and into the mid 50s for Sunday morning.

A Wet Friday

For today, there will be cloudy skies with rain likely in the afternoon. The rain may be heavy at times. There will be a chance for a thunderstorm in the afternoon/evening. The high will be in the lower 80’s. For tonight, we’ll have lots of clouds and showers in the evening then clearing skies late. The morning low will be in the lower 60’s. A cold front will push off the coast late tonight. Behind the front there will be a high-pressure system to build into the area for the weekend. The weekend will be very nice with lots of sun and afternoon temperatures will be in the lower/mid 80’s. Have a good weekend!

Stormy Friday

Showers and some thunder will roll through the area overnight. A cold front will approach on Friday, producing a stronger round of showers and thunderstorms, most likely in the afternoon. Once this second batch of weather passes, drier air will move in for the weekend.

Highs on Friday will be in the low 80s, but could be higher or lower depending on the amount of sun that can break through the clouds in the morning. Lows Friday night will drop off into the low 60s as more pleasant air moves in. Highs over the weekend will be in the low to mid 80s under plenty of sun.

Wet Weather in the Forecast

The clouds and rain will roll into the area today. The best chance of rain today will be in the late afternoon. The high will be in the mid 80’s. For tonight, we’ll have lots of clouds with showers likely. The low will drop down into the lower 70’s. A cold front will move closer to the area on Friday. The front will allow for showers and storms. Some of the storms in the afternoon/evening may be strong. The high on Friday will be in the lower. 80’s. The cold front will move off the coast early Saturday morning taking the clouds and rain. The weekend will be very nice with sunny skies and mild temperatures.

Wet Weather On the Way

Southerly breezes will usher in more moisture on Thursday, likely resulting in some showers and a chance of thunderstorms by the afternoon. This first round of wet weather should taper off Thursday night, then an approaching cold front will bring a good chance of showers and thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening. The second round of weather looks to have a better chance of producing strong storms. Highs the next couple days will be in the low to mid 80s, depending on the amount of sun that can peek through.

The weekend will be sunny and less humid behind the front that moves through Friday night. Highs will be in the mid 80s with nighttime lows dropping to the upper 50s Sunday morning.

Another Warm Day

We will have another warm day, but wet weather is on its way. For today, there will be a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 80’s. For tonight, we’ll have mostly cloudy skies with lows in the lower 70’s. Thursday and Friday there will be more clouds than sun, with a good chance for rain. The highs will be 82-84. A cold front will pass through on Friday. The front will bring a chance for storms Friday afternoon/evening. The weekend will be sunny and warm.

Warmer and More Humid

Temperatures and humidity are on the increase across the area. Lows overnight will be in the mid to upper 60s and some fog is possible. Expect a mix of sun and clouds Wednesday, and it should be a couple degrees warmer, with highs in the mid 80s. Light breezes will turn more to the south on Thursday, offering a further increase in moisture, resulting in some showers and possibly a thundershower in the area. More clouds will be around, but highs should still make the low to mid 80s. A cold front will be approaching Friday, but it looks like it may start drying up ahead of the front, so I just see maybe a couple showers in the area, otherwise a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 80s.

The weekend will be dry with warm daytime highs in the mid 80s. Lower humidity behind the above front will cause lows to drop into the upper 50s in some spots Saturday night. The next chance of wet weather looks to be sometime on Monday.

Warming Up Some

Temperatures are on the upswing following some rather cool nights we saw over the weekend. Higher humidity will keep lows mostly above 60 the rest of the week. Daytime highs will reach the low 80s Tuesday, then go into the mid 80s for Wednesday through Friday.

Sky cover will be a mix of sun and clouds. An isolated shower is possible over the next couple days due to a moist flow of air coming off the ocean. As a cold front approaches from the west late this week, look for a better chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm Thursday and Friday.

A Pleasant Fall Weekend

High pressure to our north will provide splendid weather this weekend. Expect mostly clear skies, with high temperatures reaching the upper 70s Saturday and the low 80s Sunday. Lows will be in the upper 40s tonight and the low 50s Saturday night. Humidity and some clouds will gradually increase Monday and Tuesday, and there may be a chance of showers by Wednesday.

Beautiful Weather Continues

Mostly clear skies will be with us for Friday through the weekend as high pressure building to our north controls our weather. Expect pleasant days and cool nights. Highs Friday and Saturday will be in the mid to upper 70s with lows in the upper 40s to low 50s. Sunday will be slightly warmer in the afternoon, with highs reaching the low 80s after a morning start in the low 50s.

Turning Pleasant to Finish the Week

A dry cold front came through the area Wednesday, with cooler and less humid air set to move in overnight. Temperatures will be around 60 at daybreak Thursday and will climb to a pleasant 80 degrees Thursday afternoon under clear skies. Beautiful weather will continue for Friday and the weekend. Thursday night lows will drop to the low 50s, with highs Friday in the mid to upper 70s. Expect highs Saturday in the upper 70s, then reaching the low 80s Sunday. Lows over the weekend will be in the upper 40s away from the beaches Saturday morning, then in the low to mid 50s Sunday morning. Enjoy!

Cooler Weather Coming

There will be one more day of warm weather before the beautiful fall weather moves in on Thursday. For today there will be clouds in the morning then lots of sun. The temperatures will be well above average. The afternoon high will be near 90. For tonight we’ll have clear skies with cooler temperatures. The low will drop down to 60 for most areas. A cold front will pass through on Thursday morning, and that front will allow for cooler and drier air to move into the area. For Thursday there will be sunny skies with highs near 80. Friday and Saturday will be fantastic with sunny blue skies and highs in the upper 70’s. The lows over the weekend will be in the lower 50’s. Enjoy the nice weather that will come our way this weekend.

Cooler Air to Arrive Soon

For tonight there will be cloudy skies with scattered showers. The morning low will be in the lowers 70’s. There will be more clouds than sun this weekend with scattered showers. The highs for Saturday and Sunday will be near 82-84. Have a good weekend!

Wet Weather Lingers

While it was a lousy day across the area, the rain did not fall hard enough to cause any serious problems. Shower chances will continue Friday and Saturday while a moist flow continues out of the east. While downpours will be possible, widespread heavy rain is not expected. Skies will remain mostly cloudy. A little sun at times may boost the temperature into the low 80s the next couple days. Drier air is expected to push in on Sunday, and with more sun, temperatures should reach the mid 80s.

Tropics:

An area of disturbed weather near the Bahamas will move west-southwest through the weekend. Upper level winds are currently unfavorable for development. Some development may eventually occur near western Cuba or the Yucatan Peninsula by early next week.

Another Wet Day

* Flood Watch for Today * For today, we will continue to see the onshore flow that will allow for more rain today. The rain will be heavy at times in the afternoon. Some areas may receive 2-3” of rain. The afternoon high will be near 80. For tonight, we’ll have cloudy skies with scattered showers. The low will be in the lower 70’s. The chances of rain will continue for Friday and Saturday. The afternoon high will be in the mid 80’s by the weekend.

Tropics:

Possible Tropical Development (92 L):

There is an area of showers and storms northeast of the Bahamas. There is a chance we could have tropical development in the Bahamas this weekend. The low will move west into the Gulf of Mexico. Some of the computer models show the low becoming a tropical storm by the first of next week. We will be watching this closely, but I don’t see this having an impact on our weather.

More Soaking Rains

High pressure to the north and the remnants of an old frontal boundary in the area are providing a very moist easterly flow of air. Moderate to heavy rains affected the area today, most widespread near the coast. Expect more rain to develop on Thursday, and some of it will likely be heavy again. This could result in localized flooding, so please exercise caution on the roads. Shower chances will continue Friday and Saturday, with drier air expected to move in Sunday and Monday. Temperatures will be held down by clouds and rain, with highs struggling to reach 80 on Thursday. A little more sun may peak through at times Friday and Saturday, allowing highs to reach the low to mid 80s.

Tropics:

Low pressure in the Gulf of Mexico will move northwest towards the Louisiana coast Thursday and Friday before dissipating.

Low pressure is expected to develop east of the Bahamas Thursday and begin tracking west. The system may become a tropical depression by the end of the week. Upper level steering flow should point this system between south Florida and Cuba and into the southern Gulf of Mexico over the weekend.

A Wet Wednesday

There will be on and off showers through the day. The rain may be heavy at times. Some areas will pick up over 1.00” of rain. The clouds will hold the temperatures down into the lower 80’s. For tonight, we’ll have cloudy skies with scattered showers. The low will be in the lower 70’s. The wet weather will continue for Thursday. The forecast for Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a good chance for rain, with highs in the lower 80’s. The models continue to show the wet weather for Friday and Saturday.

Tropics:

Tropical Development (92 L):

The models are showing that a tropical system will develop over the weekend in the Bahamas or near Cuba. The track of the low should be SW with time, taking the low into the southern Gulf of Mexico. There will be a strong high pressure to build to the north of the low; the high will drive the low to the west. As of right now, I don’t see this being a problem to our area.

Occasional Wet Weather

Onshore breezes will continue to bring in clouds and some showers from off the ocean. The breezes will become lighter than they have been, so high surf conditions will improve. Wednesday looks to feature more clouds than sun with a few showers. Highs will reach near 84. Scattered showers can be expected Wednesday night and Thursday, with a low near 70 and highs to near 86. Expect warm and humid conditions for Friday and the weekend with a bit of an onshore breeze continuing. A few showers are possible again Friday, with less chance over the weekend. Highs should reach at least the mid 80s.

Tropics:

Low pressure is moving west of south Florida and is projected to move northwest through the Gulf of Mexico reaching the central or western Gulf coast late this week. Some development into a depression or named storm is possible.

Showers in the Forecast

For today, the clouds will roll into the area. We continue to see the deep northeasterly flow. The northeast winds will allow for the possibility of coastal flooding during the time of high tide. There will be a chance of rain for the coastal areas this afternoon. The high will be in the mid 80’s. For tonight, we’ll have mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers. Wednesday there will be more clouds than sun with a good chance for showers. The afternoon high will be in the mid 80’s. Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a chance for showers. The high will be near 86.

Tropics:

Possible of tropical development (90 L):

There is a low pressure in south Florida this morning. The low will move west over the next few days. There is a chance that the low could become a tropical system late this week. The low will need to overcome strong upper level winds and a lot of dry air in the Gulf of Mexico.

Some Moisture to Increase

Breezes from the ocean the next couple days will gradually increase moisture levels, resulting in an increase in clouds and then some showers affecting the area. The best chance for showers looks to be Tuesday night and Wednesday. There will be a lingering chance of showers Thursday and possibly beyond as the humidity will return to near-summer levels. Highs Tuesday and Wednesday will be in the low to mid 80s. Lows will start having a hard time dropping below 70 beginning Tuesday night.

Tropics:

An area of disturbed weather in the Bahamas will move west into the Gulf of Mexico and some tropical development is possible. This system is currently projected to arrive on the central or western Gulf coast later in the week.

A Nice Fall Day

For today, there will be a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the lower 80’s. There is a coastal flood advisory and high surf advisory for today. The winds will be strong out of the northeast. Tonight, there will be partly cloudy skies with lows in the mid 60’s. The chances for showers will increase on Tuesday night into Wednesday. A coastal trough will develop that will allow for a better chance for showers along the coast. The afternoon highs for Tuesday and Wednesday will be in the mid 80’s.

Tropics:

A low pressure is off the east coast of Florida that will move into the Gulf of Mexico. The low has a chance to become a tropical system as the low drifts west.

Breezy and Pleasant Monday

Northeast breezes will continue on Monday, gusty along the coast. Temperatures will remain pleasant, with highs in the low 80s. A gradual increase in moisture the next couple days will result in more clouds mixing with sunshine near the coast along with a slight chance of coastal showers by Tuesday. Rain chances may increase more for Wednesday and Thursday.

On the coast:

Heavy surf will continue on Monday, with more beach erosion expected due to the combination of high tides and gusty northeast breezes. The risk of riptides will remain high.

Tropics:

Disorganized weather around the Bahamas could get better organized as it moves west across the Florida Straits into the Gulf of Mexico the next couple days.

Cooler and Breezy This Weekend

High pressure building to the north will provide cooler temperatures and low humidity this weekend, giving us a true taste of fall. Expect plenty of sun with highs in the low 80s and lows dropping to near 60. Breezes will be brisk at times, especially along the coast.

On the coast:

The combination of astronomical high tides due to the recent full moon and increasing breezes out of the northeast this weekend will lead to some heavy surf and possible beach erosion as well as an enhanced risk of riptides. There is also a good chance of shallow coastal flooding around the morning high tides Saturday (10:31 a.m., 8.9 feet) and Sunday (11:26 a.m., 8.7 feet).

Tropics:

"Lorenzo" moved onshore in Mexico Friday morning as a category one hurricane. The system will dissipate over Mexico, but continue to produce flooding rains there as it does.

"Karen" is barely hanging on as a tropical storm in the central Atlantic. Unfavorable winds aloft are hurting this system, which is expected to weaken to a tropical depression this weekend as it moves northwest.

Finally, a new tropical depression has formed in the far eastern Atlantic. This system could become a tropical storm (Melissa) this weekend.

Cooler Weather Almost Here

A cold front will move through early Friday, but temperatures will stay quite warm for one more day. Highs will reach near 90 in many locations, though the humidity will be dropping throughout the day, so it should feel less muggy. Then winds will turn to the northeast for Saturday and Sunday. It will become breezy, especially along the coast. Highs will be in the low 80s over the weekend with low humidity and partly cloudy skies.

The combination of astronomical high tides due to the recent full moon and increasing breezes out of the northeast this weekend will lead to some heavy surf on the coastal waters and a good chance of shallow coastal flooding around the morning high tides Saturday (10:31 a.m.) and Sunday (11:26 a.m.).

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Karen is suffering through unfavorable winds aloft and is weakening some. It will most likely hold on as a tropical storm the next few days as it travels generally towards the northwest into the central Atlantic, staying northeast of the Lesser Antilles.

The system in the southwest Gulf of Mexico is now Tropical Storm Lorenzo. It will moves west into Mexico on Friday, possibly as a minimal hurricane.

A Warm Fall Day

For today, there will be mainly sunny skies in the morning then a mix of sun and clouds. The afternoon high will be in the upper 80’s. For tonight, we’ll have areas of clouds as a cold front moves into the area. The low will be near 68. I don’t see much of a chance for showers or storms with the front. The cold front will pass through the area early on Friday morning. For Friday, there will be mostly sunny skies with highs remaining warm in the upper 80’s. Saturday and Sunday will feel more like fall with highs in the lower 80’s and lower humidity.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Karen:

Karen is looking less organized this morning. There is some upper level wind shear pushing the storms away from the center of circulation. Karen has winds of 65 mph, and is 950 miles east of the Windward Islands. The computer models continue to show Karen to turn north over the next five days.

Tropical Depression #13:

TD #13 has not strengthened over the last 24 hrs. The depression is drifting west towards the coast of Mexico. TD #13 should make landfall early Saturday in Mexico.

We have passed the peak of hurricane season, and now we are seeing the most activity all season long. There are a few more areas that have potential to develop over the next few days. We will be watching those areas for development into the weekend.

Muggy Weather Through Friday

Temperatures will remain above average the next couple days until a cold front brings a taste of fall this weekend. Highs Thursday and Friday will be in the upper 80s, with a few spots in the area reaching 90. Rain chances look pretty low; there is a slight chance a shower or thunderstorm could make it into the western part of our area Thursday evening. Breezes will be from the west-northwest Friday just behind the cold front, providing warm and dry conditions. Then breezes will turn to the northeast for the weekend and will be brisk along the coast. Highs will drop into the low 80s this weekend, with some upper 70s at the beaches.

The combination of astronomical high tides due to the full moon and northeast winds this weekend could lead to minor coastal flooding at the times of high tide Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Karen is about midway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles. It will be moving mainly northwest the next few days through the central Atlantic and to the northeast of the Lesser Antilles. The storm may become a hurricane for a while the next day or two, then unfavorable upper level winds could weaken it back to a tropical storm.

The tropical depression in the southwest Gulf of Mexico will move slowly and erratically the next 2 to 4 days before making landfall in Mexico. The system still has a good chance to become a named system (Lorenzo).

Low pressure with showers and thunderstorms will be east of Florida Thursday moving northeast. Any possible development of this system will have no impact on our weather as it will remain well offshore ahead of an approaching cold front.

A Warm Day

We will have a mix of sun and clouds today with a stray shower possible. The afternoon high will be near 86. For tonight, we’ll have partly cloudy skies with patchy fog late. The low will be 68. Thursday there will be a slight chance for a shower with a high of 88. A cold front moves through the area on Friday. The front will bring a chance for showers early on Friday then clear the area out for the weekend. The high temperatures will be in the lower 80’s for Saturday and Sunday. It will feel more like fall by Saturday.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Karen:

Karen is becoming stronger in the open Atlantic. Karen is looking more like it could become a hurricane over the next few days. No change from the thinking of yesterday that Karen will turn north in the next 3 to 4 days. Here is the forecast track form the National Hurricane Center:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/084025.shtml?5day#contents


Tropical Depression #13:

TD #13 will be making landfall this weekend in Mexico. It could become a tropical storm before making landfall on Saturday.

Slight Chance of Showers

Skies will continue to be partly cloudy overnight and Wednesday. Light flow from off the ocean could cause a shower or two, but coverage will be limited. Highs Wednesday will reach the mid to upper 80s, cooler on the beaches. Thursday looks dry and warm across the area with highs mainly in the upper 80s. A cold front will cross the area Friday and Friday night. There will be enough moisture ahead of the front for a chance of a shower or thunderstorm, coverage does not look that great. Highs Friday should again reach the upper 80s. Then high pressure to the north will dominate our weather this weekend, with breezes picking up out of the northeast. It will be cooler under a mix of sun and clouds. While a coastal shower can't be ruled out, most moisture will get pushed to our south into Florida.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Karen in the far eastern Atlantic is moving west-northwest. It is projected to turn more to the north later this week, and indications are this system should remain well out to sea.

Disturbed weather in the southwest Gulf of Mexico has formed into a tropical depression. The system will drift around slowly the next couple days before it should head west into Mexico. The system will likely strengthen some, at least into a tropical storm (Lorenzo) while it remains over water.

Another Nice Day

For today, we’ll have mainly sunny skies in the morning then a mix of sun and clouds. There will be a chance for a stray shower. The afternoon high will be in the mid 80’s. For tonight, there will be patchy clouds with lows near 70. Wednesday and Thursday we’ll have a mix of sun and clouds with a slight chance for a shower. The highs will be 86-88. A cold front will pass through the area late Friday night. The front will bring a good chance for showers and storms for Friday afternoon/evening. After the front moves though we will have a nice weekend.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Karen:

Karen is a weak tropical storm producing winds of 40 mph. The storm will continue to move west then take a turn northwest then north. The computer models show the storm staying out to sea. Karen should become a strong tropical storm in four to five days.

Warm Weather to Continue

Temperatures will remain above average for much of the week, though breezes out of the east the next couple days will provide some comfort. While showers are not out of the question due to the east flow, rain chances should remain isolated the next couple days. There may be a little higher chance of a downpour later in the week as a cold front is expected to push through on Friday.

Tropics:

An area of disturbed weather in the southwest Gulf of Mexico could develop into a tropical depression the next couple of days. This system could move towards the Mexican coast or remain offshore nearly stationary.

Another area of disturbed weather along the Lesser Antilles could develop over the next couple days as it moves northwest and west. This system is currently projected to move south of Puerto Rico and the big island of Hispaniola through the middle of the week.

A third system and the most impressive looking one is well out in the eastern Atlantic. This system will likely be a tropical depression on Tuesday as it moves to the west-northwest.

A Warm Fall Day

For today, we’ll have lots of sun in the morning then a mix of sun and clouds in the afternoon. The high will be in the upper 80’s. Tonight there will be mostly clear skies with lows in the upper 60’s. Tuesday through Thursday there will be a mix of sun and clouds with warm temperatures. The highs will be 86-88. There will be a cold front moving through on Friday that will give us a better chance for showers and storms.

Tropics:

There are two areas in the Atlantic worth watching this week.

The first area is a tropical wave (97 L) east of the Leeward Islands. The area of thunderstorms will continue moving west and will bring heavy rain to the Leeward Islands over the next two days.

The second area is a tropical wave (98 L) west of the Cape Verde Islands. The tropical wave is becoming better organized, and the wave may become a tropical depression over the next few days.

Warmer Weekend Weather

Tonight: Scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 8pm. Areas of fog after 2am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 73. East southeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Sunday: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Areas of fog before 10am. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a high near 89. Calm wind becoming east between 6 and 9 mph.

Sunday Night: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 72. East southeast wind around 6 mph becoming calm.

Improving Weather This Weekend

A band of thunderstorms with heavy rain moved slowly up the coast this morning, producing several inches of rain in some locations, causing areas of flooding. Over the weekend, there will still be a chance of scattered downpours, but activity will be less organized. Mainly, we'll see more sunshine and warmer temperatures, with highs reaching the upper 80s. It will feel more like summer for the first day of fall Sunday.

Tropical Depression Ten formed Friday just south of the Florida Panhandle. This system will move west-northwest into Mississippi and Louisiana over the weekend, causing heavy amounts of rain. As this system moves further west of our area, the moisture in the atmosphere should be lower, resulting in less rain for us.

Showers and Storms for Today

For today, we’ll have more clouds than sun with scattered showers and storms. Some of the storms will be severe. The afternoon high will be in the mid 80’s. Saturday there will be a mix of sun and clouds with a chance for thunderstorms in the afternoon. On Sunday, there will be a mix of sun and clouds with warm temperatures. The high temperatures for the weekend will be in the upper 80’s.

Fall begins on Sunday at 5:51 a.m.

Tropics:

The low south of Florida in the eastern Gulf of Mexico has the potential to develop into a tropical system today or tomorrow. The low will move west and bring gusty winds and heavy rain to the Gulf coast states.

Shower Chances Continue

Low pressure in the eastern Gulf of Mexico will move west-northwest while an old frontal boundary to our east slowly fades. The combination of these two things will lead to less shower activity in our area on Friday, and some sun should come out. Highs will reach into the mid 80s. A shower is possible Friday night, but it should be a better evening for high school football than last week. Saturday and Sunday will feature a mix of sun and clouds with isolated showers possible. Highs will reach the upper 80s and could touch 90 in a few spots.

Tropics:

Low pressure in the eastern Gulf of Mexico could become a tropical storm as it moves towards the west-northwest. This could bring some nasty weather to the central Gulf coast this weekend.

A Wet Morning

There will be a good chance for rain in the morning. Some of the rain will be heavy at times. Most of the day will be cloudy with highs near 80. For tonight, we’ll have mostly cloudy skies with lows in the lower 70’s. Friday there will be more clouds than sun with showers and storms possible in the afternoon. The afternoon high will be in the mid 80’s. The weekend will be warm with highs in the upper 80’s. There will be a mix of sun and clouds with a chance for an afternoon storm on Saturday.

Tropics:

There will be a chance for a sub-tropical or tropical system to develop in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The low that is in the Gulf will move west. The computer models don’t show a strong tropical cyclone in the Gulf. The low will bring heavy rain to the Gulf coast states this weekend.

The rest of the tropics are quiet.

Wet Weather for Thursday

Moisture off the coast associated with an old frontal boundary will move onshore overnight and Thursday. Expect showers, a few of which could be heavy, though I'm not expecting excessive amounts of rain. Highest rain amounts will be along the coast, with lower amounts inland. Low pressure over south-central Florida will move west Thursday and Friday. As it moves further west, our moisture will decrease some, and while some showers will continue in the area, there should be less coverage.

Clouds and showers will cause temperatures to struggle to reach 80 on Thursday. Then with increasing sun Friday and Saturday, temps will warm up into the mid to upper 80s, making for a summer-like feel this weekend.

Tropics:

The low moving west across south-central Florida into the eastern Gulf could develop into a tropical storm as it continues to move west or west-northwest away from the area.

Wet Weather by Tomorrow

A stalled front off the southeast coast will allow for unsettled weather by this afternoon. For today, we’ll have a mix of sun and clouds in the morning then becoming mostly cloudy by the afternoon. There will be a chance for showers along the coast in the afternoon. The high for today will be in the lower 80’s. For tonight, there will be mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers. The morning low will be in the upper 60’s. Thursday will be a wet day with breezy conditions. The high for Thursday will be near 80. We will continue to have a chance for afternoon showers and storms on Friday. The weekend will warm back up into the upper 80’s, with a chance for storms in the afternoon on Saturday.

Tropics:

Possible Tropical Development (93 L)

A low pressure has developed at the tail end of a front. The low is off the coast of Florida, producing rain and gusty winds. The computer models move the low across Florida and develop it into a tropical depression over the weekend. Most of the models take the tracks of the low into Louisiana.

The rest of the tropics are mostly quiet.

Moisture On the Increase

Expect clouds to increase over the area Wednesday, especially near the coast, as an old frontal boundary offshore interacts with easterly breezes. Some showers could reach the coast Wednesday afternoon, more likely Wednesday night. Showers are likely across the entire area Thursday. Some rain could be heavy Wednesday night and Thursday, mainly near the coast. Expect highs in the low 80s both Wednesday and Thursday.

Low pressure developing near south Florida is expected to move west-northwest into the Gulf of Mexico Thursday. Some tropical development of this system is likely, and it should move towards the central and western Gulf coast area by the weekend. As this system moves west, our rain chances will decrease, but the higher humidity left behind could still trigger some showers Friday and Saturday. Expect this weekend to feel more like summer again.

East-northeast breezes will continue to be brisk on the coast Wednesday, with a heavy surf advisory in effect along with a higher than usual risk of rip currents.

A Nice Day

For today, we’ll have mostly sunny skies, breezy and mild. The afternoon high will be near 82. For tonight, there will be patchy clouds and the low will be near 64. A low pressure will develop off the Florida coast. The low will bring the area a chance for showers on Wednesday night through Friday. The highs will remain in the lower 80’s for much of the week.

Tropics:

There is a large area of showers and storms off the coast of Florida. Some of the computer models show a tropical depression developing in the Gulf of Mexico by the end of the week. There are a few tropical waves in the Atlantic, but none show tropical development.

A Refreshing Start to the Week

Autumn-like conditions are being felt in the Coastal Empire thanks to a cold front that moved through earlier this weekend. High pressure to the northeast is providing breezy conditions along with the lower temperatures and low humidity.

It will continue to be windy along the coast due to the onshore breezes and a heavy surf advisory remains in effect Tuesday along with a small craft advisory on the coastal waters.

On land, plenty of sun will be out on Tuesday with some clouds mixing in near the coast. The old frontal boundary to the south is expected to move west across Florida as a developing area of low pressure Wednesday and Thursday. This will cause more moisture to move in off the ocean up into our area as well, resulting in more clouds and an increasing chance of showers. It is possible that some showers could be heavy Wednesday night and Thursday. Some shower chances may linger in the area Friday and Saturday, with a gradual decreasing trend. Temperatures and humidity will increase to make for a summer-like weekend.

Improvement This Weekend

A cold front followed by Canadian high pressure will bring drier air into the area this weekend. There still could be a couple showers in the area Saturday, but coverage will be less and any activity will be less intense than previous days. High temperatures will still reach the upper 80s with a muggy feel outside. Then Sunday will feel refreshingly cooler as breezes kick up out of the east-northeast. Most areas should be dry Sunday, with a mix of sun and clouds and highs dropping into the low to mid 80s.

Tropics:

We're not too concerned about anything in the tropics right now. Weak Tropical Storm Ingrid remains several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles as it moves slowly to the west-northwest. Upper level winds are currently unfavorable for strengthening, and are forecast to become more unfavorable the next couple days, possibly weakening or dissipating the system entirely.

Moisture Remains High

Daytime heating combined with plentiful moisture near a stalled frontal boundary to produce numerous thunderstorms in the afternoon Thursday. More scattered thunderstorms will develop Friday afternoon, perhaps a little less as it appears the best moisture content may shift into north Georgia. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s.
A cold front currently in the midwest will drive south and push through the area this weekend. Rain chances will gradually decrease this weekend as drier air pushes in. Sunday will be the nicest day of the two with highs dropping to near 84 and a refreshing breeze out of the east-northeast.

Tropics:

"Humberto" moved ashore near the Texas/Louisiana coast this morning and has weakened to a depression over Louisiana. The system will cause excessive rainfall in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama Friday before being absorbed by the cold front pushing south.

Tropical Depression Eight remains well east of the Lesser Antilles and will move slowly west-northwest over the next few days. Some slight strengthening into a tropical storm is expected.

More Storms this Afternoon

For today, we’ll have a mix of sun and clouds then becoming mostly cloudy in the afternoon. There will be a good chance for showers and storms in the afternoon. Some of the storms will produce heavy rain. The afternoon high will in the upper 80’s. For tonight, mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms in the evening. The low will be near 72. The afternoon showers and storms will continue for Friday and Saturday. The high for Friday and Saturday will be in the upper 80’s. There will be a cold front moving through the area on Saturday night. The front will bring cooler temperatures and lower humidity for Sunday into Monday. For Sunday and Monday there will be a mix of sun and clouds with highs in the mid 80’s.

Tropics:

Hurricane Humberto:

Humberto strengthened quickly during the night. Humberto made landfall this morning as a category one hurricane with winds of 85 mph. Humberto will weaken into a tropical storm later today. The track of Humberto will be slow for the next 3 days, before a cold front picks the storm up, and move it east. Humberto will bring heavy rain to Texas and Louisiana.

Tropical Depression #8:

The tropical depression about 920 miles east of the Windward Islands will become our next tropical storm in the next day or two. There will be an upper level trough approaching from the west of TD #8 in 4 days. The strong upper level winds will not allow the storm to strengthen much in 4 days. We have a lot of time to watch the storm as it moves W/NW in the open Atlantic.

Wet Afternoons to Continue

A stalled front just to our northwest will cause mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms through Friday. Expect a mix of clouds and sun outside of any wet weather, with highs in the upper 80s, perhaps touching 90.

A second cold front will push through on Saturday, helping to shove the best moisture to our south. There will still be a chance of showers Saturday, but a decreasing chance of rain will begin. A more pleasant air mass will move in on Sunday and the beginning of next week along with refreshing east or northeast breezes.

Tropics:

A system in the western Gulf of Mexico rapidly organized into Tropical Storm Humberto today. It will move north into the Galveston area tonight, then push northeast Thursday and Friday before being absorbed by the same cold front which will improve our weather this weekend. Areas of upper Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi can expect some enhanced rainfall over the next couple days.

The system a little over a thousand miles east of the Lesser Antilles is now a tropical depression. It will likely become a tropical storm (Ingrid) tonight or Thursday. Movement will be rather slow towards the west-northwest the next several days, and the system will only be approaching the longitude of the Lesser Antilles early next week.

Wet Weather in the Afternoon

A cold front will stall out across the southeast for the next few days. The front will allow for a good chance for showers and storm in the afternoon/evening. For today, we’ll have a mix of sun and clouds in the morning, then becoming mostly cloudy in the afternoon. Showers and storm will develop in the afternoon. Today’s high will be near 88. Tonight will be mostly cloudy with showers and storms likely in the evening. The low will be in the lower 70’s. The front that is stalled out will drift around the next two days, before moving off the coast by the weekend. Thursday though Friday there will be more clouds than sun with scattered showers and storms in the afternoon. The highs will be in the upper 80’s. The weekend is looking fairly nice. We will have a mix of sun and clouds with highs near 85-87. The best chance of a thunderstorm will be on Saturday.


Tropics:

Tropical Wave (91L):

The tropical wave about 1130 miles east of the Windward Islands is looking much better organized this morning. Here is the satellite look at the tropical wave:
http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t2/avn.jpg
The tropical wave may become a tropical depression today or tomorrow. Some of the computer models develop the tropical wave into a tropical storm in five days.

Higher Chances of Rain

A cold front will approach the area Wednesday and stall out just to our northwest. This feature will increase our chance for mainly afternoon downpours. The front will remain nearby Thursday and Friday, resulting in a continuation of scattered downpours in the area. With more clouds and better coverage of rain the next three days, our high temperatures will drop into the upper 80s. A stronger cold front should push through Saturday, taking the best moisture offshore, allowing for decreasing chances of rain over the weekend. We should also notice a more pleasant air mass moving into the area on Sunday.

A Warm Afternoon

For today, we’ll have a mix of sun and clouds with isolated showers in the afternoon. The high will be in the lower 90’s. Tonight there will be mostly cloudy skies with a slight chance for a shower. The low will be near 74. A cold front will approach the area on Wednesday. The front will stall out across the southeast through the end of the week. Wednesday through Friday we’ll have more clouds than sun with a good chance for showers and storms in the afternoon. The high temperatures will be in the upper 80’s. This weekend there will be a mix of sun and clouds with a chance for storms in the afternoon. The high will be in the upper 80’s.

Tropics:

Today is the peak of hurricane season. The tropics are fairly quiet. There is a tropical wave (91L) producing a large area of thunderstorms. The wave is about 1300 miles east of the Windward Islands. The wave may develop into a tropical depression later this week.

Another Hot Day Tuesday

Temperatures will reach back into the low 90s Tuesday with plenty of sunshine. Plenty of moisture to our south in Florida will promote widespread thunderstorms in the afternoon there, a couple which may move up into south Georgia around the Altamaha River.
Chances of rain will increase across the entire area Wednesday as a front approaches from the northwest. This front will stall out across the area and rain chances will remain high through the end of the week. More clouds and the likelihood of some wet weather each day will cause our high temperatures to drop into the 80s.

Another Warm Day

After the beautiful weekend we’ll continue seeing lots of sunshine for today. The afternoon high will be in the lower 90’s. For tonight, there will be patchy clouds with lows near 72. Tuesday, we’ll have a mix of sun and clouds with isolated showers in the afternoon. The high will be near 92. A cold front will move into the area by Wednesday. The front will stall out across the area by Thursday. So, we will have a good chance for showers and storms for Wednesday through Friday. The best chance of rain will be in the afternoon. The highs for Wednesday into Friday will be in the upper 80’s. Have a good week!

Tropics:

Tropical Depression Gabrielle: Gabrielle made landfall on Sunday morning at Cape Lookout, North Carolina. Tropical storm Gabrielle did bring gusty winds and heavy rain to the Outer Banks of North Carolina on Sunday. Gabrielle was downgraded to a tropical depression early this morning. The depression will pull away from the United States today.

Tropical wave (91L):

A tropical wave located about 950 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands has the chance to become our next tropical depression this week. There is a large area of thunderstorms with the tropical wave. The wave will continue to move west in the open Atlantic. Most of the tropical computer models develop the wave into a tropical storm in five days.

A Nice Weekend!

We will have a nice weekend across the area. Saturday we’ll have mostly sunny skies, it will be breezy and warm. The afternoon high will be near 90. Saturday night there will be partly cloudy skies with lows near 68. Sunday a mix of sun and clouds the afternoon high will be near 91. Looking at the models the next chance of rain will be on Wednesday. Have a good weekend!

Tropics:

Developing Low (99L): The low between Bermuda and the Bahamas has become better organized today. The thunderstorms are beginning to wrap around the center of circulation. The low should become a tropical depression on Saturday. There is a chance that it could become a tropical storm on Sunday before landfall. The tropical computer models show the low should make landfall late Sunday on the east coast of North Carolina. The main concern for the area will be increase in seas along the coast. Also there is a moderate rip current risk for area beaches.

A Nice Friday

The last day of the workweek is looking nice. For Friday, we’ll have a mix of sun and clouds with the afternoon high near 88. Friday night will be mostly clear and pleasant with low near 70. It will be a great night for Friday night football! The weekend is now looking sunny, breezy, and warm. Afternoon highs will be in the lower/mid 90’s. The low pressure that is developing off the southeast coast should pass well northeast of the area.

Tropics:

Low Pressure (99L)

The low pressure that has been getting a lot of attention is not looking any better organized today. The upper level wind shear is still not allowing storms to develop around the center of circulation. All the computer models show the low pressure developing and moving west then northwest. Here is a look at the models:

http://my.sfwmd.gov/sfwmd/common/images/weather/plots/storm_99.gif

I don’t see the low pressure having much of an impact on our weather. The only concern will be the increase in seas.

Keeping an Eye to the East

Plenty of sunshine will continue here through the end of the week. High temperatures will remain near 90, slightly hotter inland. The humidity will stay a little below average.

The main weather focus is low pressure well offshore. Upper level winds have prevented the system from developing into a tropical system today, but the winds should subside enough to allow for development the next couple of days. It is likely to be a named system by Friday. The system will meander on Thursday, then should begin to move west some by Friday as a ridge of high pressure to the north controls it's movement. The consensus of computer models shows this system turning northwest well east of Georgia, and heading close to the North Carolina coast this weekend. This scenario would have very little effect on our weather, except it would be breezy over the weekend and boating conditions offshore would be rough. We will continue to monitor the track of this system in case there are any significant changes.

Another Sunny Day

The sunny weather will continue through the end of the workweek. Today though Friday there will be lots of sunshine with highs near 90, and morning lows will be near 70. The weekend will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds and highs remaining near 90. We will be watching a tropical system off the southeast coast over the weekend.

Tropics:

Felix: The national hurricane center has issued the last advisory on tropical depression Felix.

Non-Tropical Low (99L):

A non-tropical low is half way between Bermuda and Florida. The low continues to shows sings of getting better organized. The main problem for the low not developing quickly is the upper level winds. The strong upper level winds are shearing out the clouds to the east. The winds in the upper levels will continue to become more favorable for tropical development over the next 24 hours. I would not be surprised to have a tropical depression by Thursday afternoon. The track of the low will continue east until high pressure to the north of low will slide off the New England coast. The high will steer the low west, then north over the weekend. Many of the computer models show landfall in North Carolina on Saturday. There is a possibility that the low could strengthen into a hurricane before landfall. With this track, it will have very little impact on our weather in the Coastal Empire and Low Country.

Watching Low Pressure to the East

Dry weather will continue through at least the end of the week, with plenty of sunshine and seasonably hot temperatures. The humidity will remain below average for early September, partly because of low pressure a few hundred miles to our east helping to pull down some dry air into the area.

Low pressure mentioned above is drifting east. It is likely to become a named tropical system by the end of the week, if not sooner as it drifts and organizes over warm water. The most likely scenario involving it's future track is for the system to get trapped between the east coast and Bermuda by a building ridge of high pressure to the north. This will likely cause the system to move back some to the west and northwest. Computer models are trending towards a track closer to the Carolinas coast this weekend, before turning to the north. The most likely scenario does not involve us at this point, but we will continue to monitor it closely.

Elsewhere in the tropics:

Powerful Hurricane Felix has moved inland over Central America and will continue to weaken over land.
