Synopsis:
High pressure will dominate the Northeastern quarter of the country through today. Temperatures will remain in the cooler than average with mainly sunny skies.
Tropical Storm Harvey continues to meander along the central Texas coast. Historic flooding is and will continue to occur for the next several days. Some areas may receive in excess of 50″+ of rain.
A tropical disturbance off the Georgia coast will move up and along the coast through Tuesday. The system most likely will become a tropical storm. Will it come close enough to affect our weather later Tuesday? 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. Clouds will come our way and rain may push into the coast and I-95 corridor of the tri-state area Tuesday and Tuesday night.
The last couple of days of August look spectacular. September’s debut on Friday will be much cooler as we turn the calendar page.
Stay Tuned.
