Synopsis:

High pressure will continue to influence the Northeast this first weekend of Autumn. This area of high pressure is large and of warm origin. This will result in readings well into the 80’s to lower 90’s in urban areas of NJ. Temperatures will flirt with record highs today The record for Central Park is 89º. The average high for this time of the year is 73º. The humidity will be up a notch from yesterday adding to the discomfort.

Summer-like readings will stick around through midweek as the strong high pressure moves slowly off the coast. The humidity will be high. At the same time, Hurricane Maria will be moving North up and off the Southeast coast. Maria as of this writing is a category 2 hurricane with winds of 105mph. The latest computer guidance has the track to the North and Northwest. This is a result of a strong ridge of high pressure to the North and East of the storm. The big question is how fast does the hurricane get to the latitude of the Outer Banks? A trough of low pressure will be swinging in from the Great Lakes mid-week. If the hurricane gets North quick enough it may graze the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast before the trough moves in. If it’s slower, the trough will push the hurricane off the North Carolina coast out to sea. At this time it’s a wait and see situation with the out to sea solution a little stronger than up the coast. I NEVER let my guard down until a hurricane is North of our latitude. The hurricane should swing off the East coast by Thursday as a cool front moves in. This will finally bring a refreshing airmass down from Canada-yes, feeling more like Fall.

Stay Tuned.

Today:

Mostly sunny and hot with record breaking temperatures likely. Highs around 90º cooler at the coast. North wind to Southeast at 5-10mph.

Tonight: 

Clear and mild. Lows in the lower 70s in the City, the 60s inland. Southeast winds under 5mph.

Monday:

Mostly sunny, warm and humid. Highs in the mid 80s.

Tuesday:

Partly sunny, warm and humid. Highs in the mid 80s.

Wednesday:

Clouds and some sun, humid. Showers are possible. Highs in the lower 80s.

Thursday:

Mostly sunny. Much less humid. Highs in the upper 70s.

Synopsis:

High pressure will build into the Northeast this first weekend of Autumn. This area of high pressure is large and of warm origin. This will result in readings well into the 80s with abundant sunshine. The average high for this time of the year is 73º. Temperatures will flirt with record highs on Sunday. The record for Central Park is 89º. It’ll be close. The humidity will be in check today but will increase some tomorrow.

Summer-like readings will stick around through midweek as the strong high pressure moves slowly off the coast. At the same time, Hurricane Maria will be moving North up and off the Southeast coast. Maria as of this writing is a category 3 hurricane with winds of 115mph. The latest computer guidance has pushed the track significantly West. This development is a result of a strong ridge of high pressure to the North and East of the storm. The big question is how fast does the hurricane get to the latitude of the Outer Banks? A trough of low pressure will be swinging in from the Great Lakes later in the week. If the hurricane gets North quick enough it may graze the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast before the trough moves in. If it’s slower, the trough will push the hurricane off the North Carolina coast out to sea. At this time it’s a wait and see situation with the out to sea solution a little stronger than up the coast. I NEVER let my guard down until a hurricane is North of our latitude.

Synopsis:

Tropical Storm Jose is well off the Eastern seaboard and meandering while slowly weakening. Winds are 50mph as of this writing. Rough surf and dangerous rip currents will continue. The humidity has finally decrease as Jose loses it’s influence on our region. We’ll be dealing with less of Jose clouds on Friday as the storm continues to weaken.

High pressure will build into the Northeast as Jose stays offshore. Warm days are expected as we turn the calendar page from Summer to Fall. In fact, it will be Summer-like right into the weekend and the beginning of next week. The Autumnal Equinox occurs at 4:02pm today. At this exact time, the Sun’s direct rays move South back over the Equator.

Hurricane Maria as of this writing has winds at 125mph-category 3 status.  The hurricane will continue on it’s Northwest trek and is just East of the Southeastern Bahamas. The Turks and Caicos have been spared a direct hit. The latest computer guidance suggests Maria will move North this weekend through the open Atlantic. It looks more and more that the hurricane will stay off the East coast as it continues to move between Bermuda and the mainland. Fingers crossed.

Hurricane Maria battered Puerto Rico as a Category 4. Maria has weakened some as it crossed over the island and has now emerged into the Atlantic. As of this writing winds are at 110mph-category 2 status. Extensive damage has occurred in Puerto Rico. The hurricane will continue on it’s Northwest trek and be near the Southeastern Bahamas late week. The latest computer guidance suggests Maria will move North this weekend through the open Atlantic. It is way to soon to speculate if the hurricane will strike the East coast.

Rough surf and dangerous rip currents will continue. The sun will return for most today; the exception being Eastern areas. Clouds bands and even a spotty shower is possible as Jose spins offshore. Winds won’t be as gusty but it’ll still be brisk at the coast.

High pressure will build into the Northeast as the remnants of Jose meander off the coast. Warm, sunny days are expected as we turn the calendar page from Summer to Fall. In fact, it will be Summer-like right into the weekend.

Hurricane Maria is battering Puerto Rico as a powerful category 4. As of this writing winds are at 155mph. Extensive damage unfortunately will occur on the island as the storm moves through. The hurricane will lose a bit of its punch and then reemerge back in the Atlantic.  The track is below.

Synopsis:

***Tropical Storm Watch for Suffolk County Long Island***

Hurricane Jose is well off the Eastern seaboard and moving North with winds of 75mph as of this writing. The track will take the storm just close enough to the tri-state area for on and off showers and gusty winds tonight. A few downpours are possible in any of the heavier bands of rain that work in from the Atlantic. Winds could gust to 40mph at times at the coast. Minor coastal flooding is also a possibility at the time of high tide. High surf, rip currents and beach erosion is likely.

The sun will return for most Wednesday; the exception being Eastern areas. Clouds bands and even a spotty shower is possible as Jose spins offshore.

High pressure will build into the Northeast as the remnants of Jose meander off the coast. Warm, sunny days are expected as we turn the calendar page from Summer to Fall. In fact, it will be Summer-like right into the weekend.

Hurricane Maria continues to strengthen and now is a potentially catastrophic Category 5 with winds of 175mph as of this writing. The Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are next in line for Maria later tonight and Wednesday which could be a category 5 with winds of 155+mph (map below).

Stay Tuned.

Tonight: 

Partly cloudy with scattered showers mainly from I-95 and to the East. A few local downpours are possible. Lows in the upper 60s in the City, the lower 60s inland. North winds at 10-20mph gusting to 40mph at the coast.

Wednesday:

Partly sunny and breezy. Except remaining mainly cloudy over Eastern sections with spotty showers. Highs in the mid 70s to around 80º. North to Northwest winds at 15-25mph.

Synopsis:

***Tropical Storm Watch for Suffolk County Long Island & Southeastern Connecticut .The Watch has been canceled for areas to the West and Coastal NJ***

Hurricane Jose is well off the Eastern seaboard and moving North with winds of 75mph as of this writing. Most of the models are in agreement that the hurricane will ride North-parallel and up off the coast through Wednesday (NHC map above, second graphic). The potential of coastal showers and gusty winds are in the forecast for today and into Wednesday morning especially over Eastern Long Island, where a period of heavier rain is possible. The Tropical Storm Watch is now only in effect for Suffolk County Long Island & Southeastern Connecticut. Winds in this area may gust between 40-50mph. Minor coastal flooding is also a possibility at the time of high tide. High surf, rip currents and beach erosion is likely. As with any tropical system; I NEVER let my guard down until the storm is North of our latitude.

The sun should return later Wednesday and a nice stretch is on the way was as Summer turns to Fall on Friday. It will be warm.

This is the peak of hurricane season. Hurricane Maria continues to strengthen and now is a potentially catastrophic Category 5 with winds of 160mph as of this writing. It hit the island of Dominica and is moving into the Caribbean. The Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are next in line for Maria which could be a category 4 with winds of 150mph. (map below).

Synopsis:

***Tropical Storm Watch for coastal areas Tuesday into Wednesday excluding NYC***

High pressure off the New England coast will cause a Northeast flow off the ocean. This will result in areas of fog and clouds this morning. The fog should burn off and a mix of clouds and sun is expected during the afternoon. Spotty showers can’t be ruled out.

Hurricane Jose is well off the Eastern seaboard and moving North with winds of 75mph as of this writing. Most of the models are in agreement that the hurricane will ride North-parallel and up off the coast through next week (NHC map above, second graphic). The potential of coastal showers and gusty winds are in the forecast for later Tuesday into Wednesday. A Tropical Storm Watch has been posted for coastal areas. Winds may gust between 40-50mph. Coastal flooding is also a possibility. High surf, rip currents and beach erosion is a likely no matter what the eventual track is. If the Jose comes closer to the coast, heavier rain and stronger winds are possible. As we all know, the track can change. Affects from Jose will most likely be felt but at this time a direct hit is slim. As with any tropical system; I NEVER let my guard down until the storm is North of our latitude.

This is the peak of hurricane season. Hurricane Maria continues to strengthen East of the leeward islands and should become a major hurricane as it continues into the Caribbean (map below).

Stay Tuned.

Today:

Morning fog and clouds. The sun will shine from time to time this afternoon. A stray shower is possible. Humid. Highs around in the upper 70s. Northeast winds at 5-10mph.

Mostly cloudy with patchy fog. Scattered showers or areas of drizzle are possible. Lows in the upper 60s in the City, the lower 60s inland. Northeast winds at 10-15mph.

Tuesday:

Mostly cloudy and becoming windy. Showers are possible, especially at the coast. Highs in the mid 70s.

Synopsis:

Warm and humid conditions are expected this last weekend of Summer as high pressure dominates. Today will start off with areas of fog but the sun will return with temperatures just above average.

The workweek will once again start off with morning patchy fog but skies will become partly sunny.

Hurricane Jose is between Bermuda and the US and moving North. Will it eventually affect the East coast?  Most of the models now have come to a consensus that the hurricane will ride North-parallel and up off the coast through next week (NHC map above). The potential of coastal showers and gusty winds are in the forecast for later Tuesday into Wednesday. High surf, rip currents and beach erosion is a likely to matter what the eventual track is. As we all know, the track can change. Affects from Jose will most likely be felt but a direct hit at this time is unlikely. As with any tropical system; I NEVER let my guard down until the storm is North of our latitude.

This is the peak of hurricane season. Tropical Storm Maria and Lee are in the tropical Atlantic and moving West. Maria is forecast to become a major hurricane and affect parts of the leeward islands within 48 hours. Map below.
