Synopsis:
The upper low over the Mid-Atlantic and high pressure to the North that has been responsible for our grey, damp and unseasonably cool days will slowly weaken today. Since systems are moving so slow grey skies will be with us through Sunday with areas of showers and drizzle just about anytime this weekend (FutureCast Radar/Cloud Cover above). It won’t be a washout, but not the best weather for pumpkin’ pickin’.
Monday will be the transition day with the clouds finally giving way to some sun as the system loses it’s influence on our area.
A second area of high pressure will move in from Eastern Canada and finally bring some much needed sunshine next week.
Hurricane Matthew is a powerful category 4 storm with winds of 140mph. The Northward turn has happened and the storm should be just East of Jamaica on Monday. Landfall is likely in Cuba on Tuesday and then the Bahamas will feel the wrath of Matthew (map below). Will the storm strike the East coast? At this time I am leaning against it, but a low probability is there. As we know with all hurricanes; they have a mind of their own. The hurricane won’t be a anywhere near our latitude until late next week or the weekend. Many days to watch the details unfold. Stay tuned.
