Synopsis:
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for the entire tri-state area until 9pm. Keep an eye to the sky for threatening weather. The storms will be scattered so not everyone will get in on the action. Severe thunderstorms contain one of the following criteria: winds in excess of 58mph and or one inch hail.
Once the activity moves offshore this evening. It’ll be cooler and less humid overnight under partly cloudy skies.
Thursday will be mostly sunny. High clouds may roll in from the South from Hurricane Dorian . It’ll be comfortable.
Hurricane Dorian should track up and off our coast on Friday and Friday night. There is a chance of some rain as the hurricane makes it’s closest approach but we shouldn’t experience severe conditions. The best chance of rain will be along the coast and over Long Island. Winds will be gusty, especially at the coast. Please check back to JMW for the very latest for our area.
The weekend at this time looks mainly sunny with seasonal readings and low humidity.
Category 2 Hurricane Dorian is off the Georgia coast with 110mph sustained winds as of this writing. The hurricane is moving to the North and will parallel the Georgia coast just far enough to spare the region of significant damage.Residents should never let their guard down until the hurricane is North of their latitude as any deviation in the track to the West will result in the situation becoming dire rapidly (but this isn’t likely).
The potential storm track continues a Northeast motion up and just off the South and North Carolina coastline later Wednesday thorough Thursday night. Once again a little shift to the West could mean perilous situation for the Carolina’s and a possible landfall.
Stay Tuned.
