High pressure is in control, But we do have a storm developing to our south that we will have to keep an eye on.
Later Thursday a cold front will begin dropping in out of Canada. Right now this front looks to be rather moisture starved, so not expecting widespread rain with it. But it will have a chance to bring a few scattered showers to northern parts of the region for late Thursday/night. The front will continue dropping south on Friday bringing the chance for a few showers to the rest of New York State, southern New England into Pennsylvania and the northern Middle Atlantic on Friday. Behind the front, high pressure is gonna drift back in bringing seasonally below average conditions with lower humidity for Friday and the Weekend. This will be the start of another extended dry spell, which is not the greatest news; since we're experiencing all this abnormally dry weather and drought conditions across the region.
Tropical Atlantic
This disturbance is dealing with a little bit of dry air But In spite of that it's starting to look more robust. The disturbance will be heading into a more favorable environment over the next couple of days. Currently the National Hurricane Center is giving this 2 day development odds of 40% and a 80% chance of development over the next 7 days.This is going to continue to track to the west northwest. Then it will track more north as it moves around the Bermuda High in the Eastern Atlantic and should stay north and east of the Caribbean. And then as it approaches the Western Atlantic It should be picked up by the trough moving off the East Coast heading towards Bermuda and should be directed back out to sea. While it still looks to stay away from the East Coast of the US those in Bermuda will want to keep an eye on this.
There is another wave coming off the West Coast of Africa that we will have to keep an eye on. This one looks to have a better chance of obtaining a lower latitude and possibly approach and move into the Caribbean.
While the disturbance in the central Atlantic looks to stay away from the East Coast; There will be an area of coastal low pressure around the Carolinas. That will have to be monitored tomorrow and Wednesday. While this should stay extra tropical, it will have a slight chance to become a sub-tropical /tropical depression. Regardless of development, this will bring quite a bit of rain and wind to the Southeast especially around the Carolinas and directing rain and wind into the Demarvia Peninsula and New Jersey. Those in the Middle Atlantic could experience some coastal flooding and beach erosion.
