Sun & Clouds Friday. Warm/Humid. Spotty PM Storm…

 

Synopsis:

Summer wants to stick around through the weekend. There will be clouds and some sun. Another round of scattered showers and storms are possible late in the day and evening today as a weak upper level unit of energy works through. It’ll be warm and humid.

High pressure will build in for the last weekend of the Summer. A mix of clouds and sun are expected with warm, humid conditions.

Tropical Storm Jose is between Bermuda and the Bahamas. The storm has begun a West to Northwest movement and will become a hurricane soon. Will it eventually affect the East coast? Some of the models have a cutoff  low grabbing the storm and stalling off the Mid-Atlantic, others bring it harmlessly out to sea. The models have to sort through the mayhem. This is still a couple of days from becoming a clear situation. The chances are slim for Jose to directly affect our area at this time.

Stay Tuned.

Today:

Partly sunny, warm and humid. Highs in the lower 80s. Winds becoming Southeast at 5-10mph.

Tonight: 

Partly cloudy with a spotty evening shower or storm. Lows in the upper 60s in the City, near 60º inland. Southeast to Northeast winds at 5mph.

Synopsis:

Irma’s remnants will affect out weather through tonight. There will be clouds and some sun. Another round of scattered showers and storms are possible late in the day and this evening. It will be warm and a bit more humid with readings near 80º

High pressure will build in Friday and into the last weekend of the Summer. A mix of clouds and sun are expected with warm readings.

Hurricane Jose is meandering in the Atlantic between Bermuda and the Bahamas. The storm is under very weak steering currents which will result in Jose being around for a while well off the Atlantic coast. Will it eventually affect the East coast? Some of the models have a cutoff  low grabbing the storm and stalling off the Mid-Atlantic. The models have to sort through the mayhem. This is still several days from becoming a clear situation. The chances are slim for Jose to affect our area at this time.

Hurricane Irma Makes Landfall Marco Island, Fl 3:35pm Sunday as a Cat. 3

 

Synopsis:

A large high pressure system will dominate our weather for the beginning of the workweek. Skies will be mainly sunny with warm readings through Tuesday. Leftover moisture will work into the area from the remnants of Irma Wednesday through Friday. Clouds will dominate with scattered showers from time to time.

Hurricane Irma made land fall at Marco Island, Florida as a category 3 storm with winds of 115mph. Naples Florida had a wind gust to 142mph late Sunday afternoon. Hurricane Irma at this writing was a Category 2 storm with winds of 105mph.

The storm should continue to move North or North North West along the Southwest Florida coast just inland. The hurricane will continue to weaken slowly now as it encounters land and increasing shear. The map below is the National Hurricane Center track. Flooding rains and storm surge will be of great concern. The threat of tornadoes will continue overnight to the North and East of Irma.

The hurricane track now looks to take the storm into Georgia as a tropical storm by Monday afternoon.

Will our area feel any affects from Irma?  At this point showers may move up from the remnants mid to late week.

Stay Tuned.

Tonight: 

Clear and very cool. Lows in the upper 50s in the City, the 40s inland. North wind less than 5-10mph.

Hurricane Irma Nearing Naples, Florida as a Category 3…

 

Synopsis:

It’ll be a Fall preview through the weekend as a large, cool high pressure system works into the region from Canada. Plenty of sunshine is expected with readings five to eight degrees below average for the highs. There’ll be a nip in the air during the night.

Hurricane Irma is a category 3 hurricane. Winds are sustained at 120mph as of this writing. The storm is moving North and has made landfall in the Florida Keys and now is nearing Naples, Fl.

The storm should continue to move North or North North West along the Southwest Florida coast. It now looks like Irma will either take a track directly on or just off the West coast making landfall somewhere along the Southwest coast of Florida. The hurricane will continue to weaken slowly now as it encounters land and increasing shear. The map below is the National Hurricane Center track. Much can happen to the anticipated track between now and then. A difference of 50 miles could mean the difference between damaging hurricane force winds or gusts just shy of hurricane force. Flooding rains and storm surge will be of great concern.

The hurricane track now looks to take the storm into Georgia. It could be a category 1 hurricane at that time and then become a tropical storm.

Will our area feel any affects from Irma?  At this point showers may move up from the remnants midweek.

Spectacular Sunday. Hurricane Irma Landfall in Florida Keys…

 

Synopsis:

It’ll be a Fall preview through the weekend as a large, cool high pressure system works into the region from Canada. Plenty of sunshine is expected with readings five to eight degrees below average for the highs. There’ll be a nip in the air during the night.

Hurricane Irma is a dangerous category 4 hurricane. Winds are sustained at 130mph as of this writing. The storm is moving North and has made landfall in the Florida Keys.

The storm should continue to move North or North North West over the water through the morning hours.  The water temperatures off the Southwest Coast are flirting with 90º. The hurricane still has an opportunity to strengthen a bit. It now looks like Irma will either take a track directly on or just off the West coast making landfall somewhere along the West coast of Florida. If it stays just off the West coast of Florida, just in the Gulf the hurricane will maintain its category 3 or 4 strength. If it goes just inland and North it will weaken quicker. Questions that still need to be answered. The map below is the National Hurricane Center track. Much can happen to the anticipated track between now and then. A difference of 50 miles could mean the difference between damaging hurricane force winds or gusts just shy of hurricane force. Flooding rains and storm surge will be of great concern.

The hurricane track now looks to take the storm into Georgia. It could be a category 1 hurricane at that time and then become a tropical storm.

Top Ten Weekend. Hurricane Irma Heading Toward Florida…

 

Synopsis:

It’ll be a Fall preview this weekend as a large, cool high pressure system works into the region from Canada. Plenty of sunshine is expected with readings five to eight degrees below average for the highs. There’ll be a nip in the air during the night.

Hurricane Irma is a dangerous category 3 hurricane. The storm has weakened due to the interaction with Cuba. Winds are sustained at 125mph as of this writing. The storm is currently moving along the North coast of Cuba. The hurricane will continue to move West Northwest and graze the Northern coast of Cuba today.

Now to Florida. The computer models put the Irma as a dangerous cat 4  near the Southern tip of Florida by Sunday morning. The water temperatures in the Florida Straits are flirting with 90º. In my opinion the hurricane should strengthen some. The combination of a weak upper low over the Southern states and a strong ridge of high pressure near Bermuda will result in the storm taking a dramatic Northerly turn. Where that turn specifically occurs is still up in the air. It now looks like Irma will either take a track directly up the peninsula inland, or off the West coast of Florida making landfall somewhere along the West coast of Florida. If it stays just off the West coast of Florida, just in the Gulf the hurricane will maintain its category 3 or 4 strength. If it goes inland and North it will weaken quicker. Questions that still need to be answered. Yes, the track has shifted West. All preparations should be completed at this time. The map below is the National Hurricane Center track. Much can happen to the anticipated track between now and then. A difference of 50 miles could mean the difference between damaging hurricane force winds or gusts just shy of hurricane force. The cone of uncertainty is shrinking . Flooding rains and storm surge will be of great concern.

The hurricane track now looks to take the decaying hurricane into Georgia as a tropical storm. The risk to the Carolina’s has been greatly diminished.

Will our area feel any affects from Irma?  At this point showers may move up from the remnants midweek.
