Today

We can see the storm that impacted much of the Northeast, is moving across the Gulf of Maine heading toward the Canadian Maritimes.  This will be well to our east tonight.  The widespread rain showers that were over Maine, are tapering off, with only a few areas of drizzle remaining. The rain should be over for most of Maine by midafternoon, with gust a few lingering showers over far eastern Maine this evening.

A trough hanging around the region behind the departing system will produce scattered clouds and a few very isolated showers today across the rest of the region.  With temperatures rising a bit from yesterday.  

Later today into tomorrow high pressure will move in and we will see plenty of clearing skies west to east. With all the sun, temperatures will become much milder for Wednesday, with it feeling very summer like for later Wednesday through Thursday, with the region looking to be dry. Then Thursday night and Friday, a cold front will approach and move through with increasing clouds and scattered rain showers. Saturday will see the cold front exit the region, leaving clearer skies and cooler temperatures in its wake.  The cold front will become stationary and will linger over southern parts of the region, producing isolated showers. At the same time a disturbance will be rolling across Canada bringing a chance for some rain showers for northern parts of the region.  Isolated showers will be around for Monday. Before high pressure moves back in for Tuesday.

The Atlantic

With the nor’easter grabbing the attention, I haven’t been posting on the tropical Atlantic

Gonzalo dissipated and Fay has led a strange life, she became a tropical storm, then become a tropical depression only to Fay redeveloped into a tropical storm last week, then on Sunday she reverted back to a depression. She has hung around the Atlantic and she is still clinging on as she has regained tropical storm status as of this morning.   Fay has max sustained winds of 40 mph, min central pressure of 1008mb, tracking southwest at 13 mph. she should become post tropical at some point.

a low-pressure system in the subtropical Atlantic that was Invest 91L became Tropical Storm Hanna and formed Monday.  Currently TS Hanna has max sustained winds of 45 mph, a central pressure of 1002 mb tracking ESE at 15 mph. Hanna should continue toward the ESE for the next 12 -24 hours or so, before starting a turn more to the north and then ENE. Hanna should be over by the weekend.

Hanna nor Fay is going to be a threat to the U.S.

The next storm to form in the Atlantic, if any, would be Isaias.

We will be watching the Gulf next week, with a chance for something to develop on a stalled front in the Bay of Campeche.

This is the time of year we watch the Gulf and Southwest Atlantic 

I will release part one of the winter outlook this afternoon
