The great weather continues.
The surface chart shows high pressure is still in control. There is a weak trough sitting over southern New England back down across Pennsylvania. It also shows a cold front up close to the Canadian/US border attached to an area of low pressure over the Great Lakes.
Today will be mostly dry, but there will be a chance for a few isolated showers here and there and maybe a few near that cold front to the north. But the vast majority of us should stay dry. Temperatures will be a bit warmer they were yesterday, with humidity still staying relatively low. The region is still going to be dealing with some of that wildfire smoke in central Canada. So those were breathing issues like asthma will want to take precautions. To check on your local air conditions go to the air now website.
Tonight and tomorrow the weather condition will remain the same, mostly clear and dry with only a chance for a few showers here and there. Wednesday we will see some subtle changes starting to occur. The high pressure is going to drift up over New England. This will change the general flow over the region. The easterly and southern flow will help bring in some moisture into the Middle Atlantic and Northeast. It will also start to increase our heat and humidity over the region. Wednesday and Thursday temperatures will be warm with a noticeable increase in humidity. Each day will experience a slightly greater chance for isolated showers than it was during the 1st part of the week; but it will be far from a washout. Saturday and Sunday should be mostly dry across the region, with only a very slight chance for showers, but nothing to cancel any plans for. On Sunday we will be watching a cold front approaching from the west. If it gets close enough we could see a few showers from it across western parts of our region. On Monday the cold front will move across the region bringing with it rain showers and thunderstorms.
Tropical Storm Dexter
Dexter has maximum sustained winds of 45 miles an hour Northeast at 14 miles an hour. Dexter is going to continue to pull away from the East Coast and won't have any impact on our weather pattern here in the Northeast.
The setup over the Atlantic basin I talked about yesterday is still basically the same, but the NHC has given the wave heading towards the central Atlantic a 50% chance over the next 7 days. With the area off the southeast coast up to 30% chance for development.
Weather has been nice,the overnight lows have been in the upper 40's to low 50's.I keep looking towards Africa to see if anything is popping but not much happening.Is it too early for us to be looking at Africa? It seems as though things are behind as far as anything in the Atlantic.It seems thought that Cuba and the area’s to the East of Cuba have been slow,not that is a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteBased on Climatology the Atlantic basin is running slightly ahead of average for this point In the season. On the long-term average we normally reach 4th named tropical cyclone of the season right around August 15th. No it isn't too early to start watching The waves coming off of Africa.We are now in august and thats when start to pick up as far as activity. Stop sea surface temperatures In the eastern and central Main Development Region have been running coolish and it has been dealing with a lot of Saharan dust. Bought the SSTS are now warming up And are slightly above average August is the time of year when that dust starts to wane. So activity is going to start to pick up over The next few weeks.
