Surface
Chart and Radar
Today
We can see that
semi stationary frontal boundary hanging over New York State and Pennsylvania. North and east of the boundary it will be
cooler, while south and west will be warmer. The air is going to feel very
humid. On radar we can see that bowing mesoscale convective system (MCS) (organized
group of thunderstorms) in the center of that bowed echo we could have some
high winds. Today we’re likely to see at least two rounds of showers and
thunderstorms that move along the boundary. Some of these storms will be strong
to severe. The main threat will be damaging winds and heavy downpours, but hail,
frequent lightning and a tornado or two are also possible. the Storm Prediction
Center has a Slight Risk for severe weather over a large part of the region. I’ve already posted on the Severe Thunderstorm
Watch and Mesoscale Discussion.
Stay weather
aware.
Rest of
the Week
Thursday and Friday
We’re going
to see the boundary become a cold front that will start to push south. Behind
the front cooler and less humid air will move in, the warmth and humidity will
linger ahead of the front. Closer to and
south of the boundary there will be scattered showers and thunderstorms, while
areas north of the boundary it will be much drier, with partly to mostly sunny
skies. Again, there will be the risk for severe storms. As the front drifts south, the cooler air and
lower humidity will sag south with it.
Labor Day Weekend
Right now, if the frontal boundary cooperates and stalls out to our south, the weekend will be mostly dry with lower humidity; as an area of high pressure builds south and east out of eastern Canada and into the Great Lakes and Northeast. But we will be dealing with a trough nearby, so there will be the chance for a few isolated showers. as currently planned, we'll enjoy a drier and comfier start to the upcoming holiday weekend. For Labor Day Monday we should have seasonal temperatures for early September with comfortable temperatures and low humidity.
Next Week
Tuesday and
Wednesday that high pressure
should still be hanging around, keeping things fairly tranquil, with only a
threat for isolated showers. Later Wednesday into Thursday and cold front will be
approaching out of Canada.
Tropics
Tropical Depression
Edouard.
Currently
his max sustained winds are 35 mph, central pressure of 1004mb and he is moving
north northwest at 5 mph
I added the 5-12 inch on the image.
Edouard’s heavy rain is moving inland. There is a localized significant flooding risk, localized rainfall amounts of 5-12 inches will be possible.
Besides
Edouard the Atlantic is quiet.
