Synopsis:
It doesn’t get better than this in August. High pressure will dominate the Northeastern quarter of the country for the several days. Temperatures will remain in the 70s through the weekend with mainly sunny skies. Overnight lows will be quite chilly, especially inland. A September preview for sure!
Hurricane Harvey is now inland over Southeastern Texas the storm will weaken to a tropical storm later today. It will affect the Texas coast with historic, life threatening flooding rains today into next week.
A tropical wave over Florida will move out into the Western Atlantic this weekend and then move Northeast. Many of the computer models have this system strengthening into a tropical storm. Will it come close enough to affect our weather later Tuesday or Wednesday? Right now it looks to stay offshore. What the system will do is create a Northeast flow off the ocean and kick up the surf and rip current threat. Some clouds will come our way but rain is not expected.
Stay Tuned.
