We made it to Friday

The region has been fairly cool With below average to average temperatures for the last few weeks. But that is about to change. The surface chart and radar show High pressure in control, with the region not seeing any rain. 

Today will be gorgeous Slightly below average temperatures, low humidity and light winds. We do have a weak disturbance dropping in across the region. But it is so moisture starved that other than some clouds we shouldn't see any rain from it.  On the satellite image we can see there are few more disturbances up over the great lakes into Canada Will be dropping in and across the region over the weekend. 

As they drop through  Saturday and Sunday they could cause a few isolated showers. Any showers should be fairly light and short lived. So I wouldn't cancel any outdoor plans, just keep it an eye on the sky just in case one of these starts drifting your way. The weekend will see slightly below to average temperatures. All in all it'd be a pretty nice weekend.

High pressure will set up overhead For Monday through Thursday providing dry conditions with above average temperatures for this time of year. Then for Friday into Saturday We will reintroduce a chance for widespread rain. Which we very much need. As a strong cold front drops in out of Canada and moves across the region. For next weekend temperatures will be much cooler than they will be during the first part of the week.

Tropical Atlantic

The Atlantic has been quiet for a little bit But as I said in a post a week or so ago It would become active again Around the third week of September. And that appears to be the case.

We have a disturbance just coming off the west coast of Africa That the national hurricane center is given 7 day development odds of 40%. The conditions out in the central Atlantic are marginally favorable for some development, With warm sea surface temperatures And a Favorable amount of moisture in the air. Giving the conditions This could become a tropical depression or possibly a named system during the first part of next week. With the Bermuda high so far east and the Pattern Promoting troughing off the East Coast, conditions look favorable for this to curve away from the East Coast and the Caribbean. But we will see!
