Synopsis:
High pressure will continue to influence our weather for much of the week. We’ve been very dry the last several days and this dry pattern looks to continue through the week.
A cool front will move in Wednesday night with showers and possible storms (not a big event whatsoever). A refreshing airmass will move in late week.
Now to the tropics. There has been a flare up of activity the last 24 hours. Tropical Depression #8 is East of the Carolinas and Tropical Depression #9 is entering the Southeast Gulf of Mexico. Both of these systems are expected to become tropical storms in the next day or so. TD #8 may affect the Outer Banks of North Carolina later this week as a tropical storm. TD #9 is likely to become a tropical storm as well and head toward the big bend of Florida. The names of the storms depending on which one becomes a tropical storm first will be Hermine and Ian. Gaston is the first major hurricane of the 2016 season with winds of 115mph. This will be a storm for the fish and shipping lanes (refer to map above). Please stay tuned to this site as the next 14 days will be active.
High surf and dangerous rip currents will be an issue at our local beaches. Please swim by guarded areas and heed the life guards warnings.
