Last Friday & Weekend of August a Winner…

 

Synopsis:

It doesn’t get better than this in August. High pressure will dominate the Northeastern quarter of the country for the several days. This system will result in the first truly cooler airmass of the late Summer season. 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 continues to strengthen and will make landfall along the Texas coast late tonight or Saturday as a category 3 storm.. The hurricane 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, the thought is, it stays offshore, but the trend has been farther North and West.

Stay Tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 70s. North/Northwest winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Clear and cool Lows in the lower 60s in the City, near 50º inland. North wind less than 5mph.

Severe Thunderstorm Watch & Flash Flood Watch Through This Evening…

 

Synopsis:

***SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH & FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MOST OF THE TRI-STATE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING***

An active weather day is in anticipated today. The stage will be set for possible severe thunderstorms and torrential rains. Parts of Long Island and coastal NJ will experience flooding rain this morning. A tropical airmass is over the region. It’ll be very uncomfortable with high humidity. During the afternoon a trough of low pressure will bump up against this volatile air mass. This will spark scattered severe thunderstorms. Most of the region is in a slight risk of severe thunderstorms. Keep an eye to the sky for threatening weather after 2PM. Severe thunderstorms contain winds in excess of 58mph and or one inch hail. Since the atmosphere is so moisture laden, torrential rain is possible as well. A Flash Flood Watch is up many areas of NJ. All areas should be aware that flash flooding is possible. 1″3″+ of rain is possible in a short period of time which could lead to flash flooding. If you encounter a flooded roadway- TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN. The activity should taper off by late evening.
