Synopsis:

High pressure will slowly slip off the Northeast coast through today. This area of high pressure has provided the region with our Summer-like conditions and will continue to do so through today. Readings will be in the 80s with high humidity. The average high temperature is 72º.

At the same time, Tropical Storm Maria will be moving North up and off the Southeast coast. Maria as of this writing is a tropical storm with winds of 70mph. The storm has weakened. The storm will continue move North to Northeast. This is a result of a strong ridge of high pressure to the North and East of the storm. I am very confident that the storm will move East of the Outer Banks and then take a sharp right hand turn out into the Atlantic by tonight or Thursday.  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:

Sun & Clouds, humid. Highs in the lower to mid 80s. Northeast winds at 5-10mph.

Tonight: 

Partly cloudy and mild.  Lows in the mid to upper 60s in the City, the lower 60s inland. North winds increasing to 10-15mph late.

High pressure will slowly slip off the Northeast coast through Wednesday. This area of high pressure has provided the region with our Summer-like conditions and will continue to do so through mid-week. Readings will be in the 80s with high humidity. The average high temperature is 72º

At the same time, Hurricane Maria will be moving North up and off the Southeast coast. Maria as of this writing is a category 1 hurricane with winds of 75mph. The storm has weakened. The storm will continue move North. This is a result of a strong ridge of high pressure to the North and East of the storm. I am now fairly confident that the storm will move East of the Outer Banks and then take a sharp right hand turn out into the Atlantic.  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.

Synopsis:

High pressure will continue to influence the Northeast for the start of the workweek. This area of high pressure is large and of warm origin. This resulted in record highs on Sunday with readings in the lower 90s in many areas. The average high for this time of the year is 73º.

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 1 hurricane with winds of 80mph. The storm has weakened considerably. The latest computer guidance has the storm moving due North. This is a result of a strong ridge of high pressure to the North and East of the storm. I am now fairly confident that the storm will move East of the Outer Banks and then take a sharp right hand turn out into the Atlantic.  I NEVER let my guard down until a hurricane is North of our latitude.

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.

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.

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).

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).
