Sun & Clouds For Back to Work/School. Gusty Winds at Coast…

Synopsis: 

Post Tropical Storm Hermine will continue to move toward the West/Northwest today and begin to weaken.  A Tropical Strom Warning remains in effect for Suffolk county and parts of coastal Connecticut for winds that may reach 40+mph in the next 24 hours. Coastal flooding at the time of high tide will occur in those areas prone to flooding.  The water may reach one to two feet above normal.

High surf, dangerous rip currents and beach erosion will be an issue at our local beaches.  

A mix of sun and clouds is expected for back to school and work. A few spotty showers can’t be ruled out at the coast.  It’ll be warm. Hermine will move farther offshore midweek and a weak area of high pressure will develop over the Southeast by late week. This high will pump up late Summer heat.  With readings reaching 90º with higher humidity.

 

Today:

Partly sunny and breezy, a passing shower is possible along the coast.  Windy at the coast.  North wind at 10-20mph with gusts to 35+mph at the coast. Highs in the lower to mid 80s.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy. Lows around 70 in the City, the mid 60 inland. A few passing showers can’t be ruled out over Long Island and at the coast. North wind 10-20mph with gusts to 35+mph at the coast.

Hermine’s Effects: Gusty Winds at Coast-Pockets of Coastal Flooding…

Synopsis: 

Post Tropical Storm Hermine did it’s own thing.  What was supposed to be a track somewhat closer to the coast turned into a more offshore solution.  This spared the region of major coastal flooding and highs winds.  Yes, the forecast was a bust.  When I bust; I’ll always fess up.

A Tropical Strom Warning remains in effect for Suffolk county and parts of coastal Connecticut for winds that may reach 40+mph in the next 24 hours.

Coastal flooding at the time of high tide will occur in those areas prone to flooding.  The water may reach one to two feet above normal.

High surf, dangerous rip currents and beach erosion will be an issue at our local beaches.  

Expect mainly cloudy skies at the coast with a mix of sun and clouds the farther inland you go for Labor Day.

Hermine will move farther offshore midweek.  It will feel every bit like Summer with highs in the 80s then reaching 90º with higher humidity late week.

Labor Day:

Sun and clouds. Windy.  Highs in the lower to mid 80s. North wind at 15-25mph with gusts to 40mph at the coast.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 60s in the City, the mid 50s inland. Northeast to North wind 10-20mph with gusts to 35mph at the coast.

Tuesday:

Partly sunny and breezy. Highs in the mid 80s.

Wednesday:

Mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Thursday:

Hazy, hot and humid with highs around 90º.

Friday:

Hazy, hot and humid with highs around 90º.

Hermine’s Effects: Gusty Winds & Coastal Flooding…

Synopsis: 

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the entire coast including New York City and vicinity, Long Island and coastal Connecticut through Labor Day.  Wind gusts of 30-45 mph are possible during this time.  It won’t be windy all the time.  The winds will be much lighter inland.  This storm isn’t a rainmaker but i’ll be keeping my eye on the Western rain bands offshore.  They may make it to parts of the coast for a time Monday. A mix of sun and clouds is the forecast through the holiday. The gusty winds and coastal flooding continues to be the threat with Hermine.

The latest track and most models have the storm slightly farther offshore through Tuesday. The track needs to be monitored as a deviation toward the coast could create a more severe situation. The storm will slow down and possibly stall or do a loop.   We will go through many high tide cycles with the storm effecting the area- not good. Coastal flooding is likely during high tide with levels of 1 to possibly 3 feet above normal.  If you live in an area to that is proned to coastal flooding now is the time to prepare.

High surf, dangerous rip currents and beach erosion will be an issue at our local beaches.  

Tonight:

Partly cloudy. Lows in the lower to mid 60s in the City, the mid 50s inland. Northeast to North wind 10-20mph with gusts to 35mph at the coast.

Labor Day:

Sun and clouds. Windy.  Highs in the lower to mid 80s. North wind at 15-30mph with gusts to 45mph at the coast.

Tuesday:

Partly sunny and breezy. Highs in the mid 80s.

Wednesday:

Mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Thursday:

Hazy, hot and humid with highs around 90º.

Friday:

Hazy, hot and humid with highs around 90º.
