Fall-like Weekend. Spotty Showers Today. Steadier Rain Sunday…

 

Synopsis:

The weekend right now looks much cooler-it’ll be a Fall preview for sure. Strong high pressure over Southeastern Canada will provide a cool flow off the Atlantic. Plenty of moisture will be to our South with a stationary front. This combination will keep skies more grey than bright. There’s a chance of spotty showers this morning. Much of the afternoon should be dry for maybe the exception of Southern NJ.  A swath of moisture will move into the region on Sunday. Intermittent rain in the morning will turn to a steadier rain by afternoon.  Periods of heavy rain may occur later Sunday into a part of Monday. A Flood Watch has been posted for much of NJ into Monday. 1″-3″ of rain could fall.

Scattered showers and storms are possible on Tuesday. Unsettled times to say the least.

Tropical Storm Florence is churning in the far Atlantic. The storm should regain hurricane strength and has a decent chance to become a “major” status-Category 3 or higher hurricane. Many of today’s models have come in close proximity to the SouthEast coast- 6 days from now. It is way too early for any prognostication on the specific track. Focusing on one model run/track is scientifically indefensible. We’ll continue to track. Confidence has grown that the storm will not turn out to sea between Bermuda and the US mainland. The Carolina’s, at this time, have the greatest threat of a strike (map above). You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Hurricane Florence is churning in the far Atlantic. Many of today’s models have come in proximity to the East coast- 7 days from now.
