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.
