Flash Flood Watch Into Tonight. Local Downpours. Humid…

 

Synopsis:

Tropical Storm Michael will move off the Virginia coast tonight at the same time a cold front will be moving through. On and off showers and thunderstorms are likely. Some of the rain maybe torrential at times. The front will draw up some tropical moisture from Michael as it moves off the Mid-Atlantic coast tonight. Micheal will miss the area but the combination of both factors mentioned above has prompted a Flash Flood Watch for much of the region through late tonight. One to three inches of rain is possible. The heaviest rain will fall along the Southern NJ coast & Eastern Long Island (1st map above). The rain taper off very early Friday morning with Eastern Long Island being the last to dry out by mid-morning. The sun will return Friday along with much cooler and less humid conditions. Temperatures will finally be near the average high of 66º.

The weekend will be chilly with readings actually below average for a change. A few showers are possible Saturday morning with the sun returning during the afternoon. Sunday will be the better half of the weekend with plenty of sun as high pressure dominates.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

On & Off Showers/Storms Today. Local Downpours. Humid…

 

Synopsis:

Hurricane Michael made landfall yesterday afternoon just short of category 5 status (winds of 155mph) near Mexico Beach, Florida. Catastrophic damage has occurred. This was the strongest hurricane to hit the Florida panhandle since records have been kept. It’s also the 4th strongest hurricane in terms of sustained wind to hit the US and the 3rd most intense relating to low barometric pressure. Michael has weakened to a tropical storm will move through the Carolinas today and off the Virginia coast tonight.

A cold font will be approaching the region later today. On and off showers and thunderstorms are likely. Some of the rain maybe torrential at times. The front will draw up some tropical moisture from Michael as it moves off the Mid-Atlantic coast tonight. The storm will miss the area but the combination of both factors mentioned above has prompted a Flash Flood Watch for much of the tri-state area later Thursday and Thursday night. The heaviest rain will fall along the Southern NJ coast. The rain taper off very early Friday morning with Eastern Long Island being the last to dry out by mid-morning. The sun will return Friday along with much cooler and less humid conditions.

The weekend will be chilly with readings actually below average for a change. A few shower are possible Saturday. Sunday will be the better half of the weekend with plenty of sun.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Another Cloudy Start. Some Afternoon Sun. Warm/Humid…

 

Synopsis:

The tropical airmass that we’ve been dealing with will stick around through tomorrow as high pressure off the coast continues to pump up moisture from the South. Clouds and patchy fog will be with us this morning. Enough drying will take place during the afternoon to allow for some sunshine. Readings will be ten degrees above the average high (which is in the upper 60s).

Hurricane Michael made landfall this afternoon just short of category 5 status (winds of 155mph) near Mexico Beach, Florida. Catastrophic damage is likely from extreme winds and flooding. The storm will move into interior Florida, Southern GA and into the Carolina’s through Thursday.

By Thursday, a cold font will be approaching the region. Showers and thunderstorms are likely. Confidence continues to increase that Michael will stay just far enough South and East on Friday to spare the area of the storm’s affects. A few coastal showers are possible during the early morning hours, otherwise the sun will return. As always keep it here to JMW for the very latest on track of hurricane Michael.

Finally, decent Fall weather will be with us this upcoming weekend. It’ll be cooler than average but the shine will shine much of the time.

Clouds to Some Sun. Much Warmer by Afternoon…

 

Synopsis:

Clouds will give way to some sun today as the atmosphere dries out some. High pressure will park itself over the off the Eastern Seaboard this afternoon through Wednesday resulting in above average temperatures and dry conditions. Today and tomorrow will feel more like Summer and it will be humid.

All eyes are on strengthening Hurricane Michael. The hurricane should become a powerful Category 3 storm with winds near 125mph and making landfall Wednesday somewhere along the panhandle or big bend area of Florida (map above). Damaging winds and flooding rains are likely.

By Thursday, a cold font will be approaching the region. Showers and thunderstorms are likely. Confidence continues to increase that Michael will stay just far enough South and East on Friday. The area should be spared of the storm’s affects. As always keep it here to JMW for the very latest on track of hurricane Michael.

Today:

AM Clouds to some sun. Warm & humid. Highs near 80º. South wind at 5-10mph.

Back to Grey, Cool & Damp for Monday…

 

Synopsis:

Just wait 24 hours and the weather will change- ain’t that the truth. We’ll go back to grey, cool and damp conditions for Columbus Day. Another high will move toward Northern New England today into tonight. This will once again result in a flow off the ocean with cloudy skies, spotty showers or areas of drizzle will return. Readings will be back to seasonal with highs within a few degrees of 70º.

This high looks to park itself over the off the Eastern Seaboard Tuesday and Wednesday resulting in above average temperatures and dry conditions. Any clouds on Tuesday will burn off and temperatures will once again pop to well above average readings. Wednesday will be Summer-like with highs around 80º. Both days will be humid.

All eyes are strengthening Hurricane Michael. The hurricane should become a powerful Category 3 storm with winds near 120mph and making landfall Wednesday somewhere along the panhandle or big bend area of Florida (map above). Damaging winds and flooding rains are likely.

By Thursday, a cold font will be approaching the region. Showers and thunderstorms are likely. If Michael moves far enough North the storm will enhance our rainfall and gusty winds could occur especially at the coast. It’s way too early to get into specifics, but be aware that the potential for a period of heavy rain is possible later Thursday into Friday morning.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Columbus Day:

Cloudy with scattered showers or areas of drizzle. Less humid. Highs around 70º. East winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Clouds to Some Sun Sunday. Much Warmer…

 

Synopsis:

High pressure off the Northeast coast will result in a wind off the ocean into this morning. Moisture will be trapped at the lowest level of the atmosphere and will cause clouds to dominate through the morning hours with patchy drizzle possible.

The high pressure will move farther offshore by midday and during the afternoon. Temperatures will pop once again to well above the average highs as winds begin to turn to a Southwesterly direction. Clouds will give way to some sun by afternoon.  A spot late or evening storm can’t be ruled out as the atmosphere becomes unstable.

Another high will move toward Northern New England on Monday-Columbus Day. This will once again result in a flow off the ocean. Columbus Day will be mainly grey with spotty showers or areas of drizzle possible.

This high looks to park itself over the off the Eastern Seaboard Tuesday and Wednesday resulting in above average temperatures and dry conditions.

By late week a tropical system will most likely come out of the Gulf of Mexico. Will it go off the Southeast coast or ride up the piedmont and affect our weather as a decaying storm. It’s still early to give an answer, but be aware that a round of heavy rain and gusty winds is possible if track is close enough to the tri-state area.

You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.

Stay tuned.

Today:

Morning clouds and patchy drizzle will give way to a mix of clouds and sun; it’ll be much warmer and humid. A spot shower or storm is possible late day and or during the evening. Highs around 80º. Southwest winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight:

Mostly cloudy with areas of drizzle. Lows in the mid 60s in the City, around 60º inland. Southeast to South winds at 5mph.
