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.
