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. Irma is now a tropical storm and will continue to weaken.

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

Stay Tuned.

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.

Monday:

Mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 70s. Winds North at 5mph.

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.

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.

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.

Synopsis:

A spot shower this evening otherwise, it will become mostly clear. 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 4 hurricane. Winds are sustained at 155mph as of this writing. The storm is currently moving along the North coast of Cuba. The hurricane will continue to move West Northwest and ride just offshore or may graze the Northern coast of Cuba tonight. Irma should maintain at least a category 4 or 5 status during this time frame with winds of 145mph+. Slight weaken is possible with any interaction with Cuba.

Now to Florida. Most of the computer models put the Irma as a dangerous cat 4 or 5 near the Southern tip of Florida by late Saturday Night. 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. Will it be heading North just to the East of Fl, directly up the peninsula inland, or off the West coast of Florida? Questions that still need to be answered. The time is now to be prepared for a POSSIBLE landfalling dangerous hurricane in Florida. 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. This raises the confidence of Florida experiencing direct affect from Irma.  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.

Synopsis:

It’ll feel like the beginning of fall into the weekend as a large, cool high pressure system works into the region from Canada.

Friday will start off with sun but clouds will move in later in the afternoon. Spotty showers are possible later in the day as an upper level trough works through.

The weekend will be gorgeous with plenty of sunshine and cool readings.

Hurricane Irma is a dangerous category 4 hurricane. Winds are sustained at 155mph as of this writing. Just because the hurricane weakened some to a lower category doesn’t mean residents shouldn’t let there guard down. The storm is currently moving through the Southeastern Bahamas.

The storm will continue to move along the Southern edge of a high pressure system in the Atlantic. The hurricane will continue to move West Northwest and ride just offshore or may graze the Northern coast of Cuba today. The storm should maintain at least a category 4 or 5 status during this time frame with winds of 145mph+.

Now to Florida. Most of the computer models put the Irma as a dangerous cat 4 near the Southern tip of Florida by Saturday Night. 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. Will it be heading North just to the East of Fl, directly up the peninsula inland, or off the West coast of Florida? Questions that still need to be answered. The time is now to be prepared for a POSSIBLE landfalling dangerous hurricane in Florida. The map below is the National Hurricane Center track. Much can happen to the anticipated track between now and then. Will the hurricane weaken and go North into Georgia (as many of the models have) or will it stay just offshore and slam into the Carolina’s?  The cone of uncertainty is shrinking. This raises the confidence of Florida experiencing direct affect from Irma.

Will our area feel any affects from Irma?  At this point its a very low chance, but we’ll have to monitor the track in the next several days. Showers may move up from the remnants midweek.

Synopsis:

The sun will return today as drier air works in behind a front on a Northwesterly flow. Temperatures will be several degrees below average.

Cool sunny days are expected for the close of the workweek into the weekend as strong high pressure moves into the Northeast.

Hurricane Irma is a extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane. Winds are sustained at 180mph as of this writing. Irma is now tied as the second strongest hurricane in the Atlantic basin. The storm will move North of the Dominican Republic and Haiti today and will near the Turks and Caicos this evening as the next landfall. Irma caused catastrophic devastation over parts of the Northern Leeward islands.

The storm will continue to move along the Southern edge of a high pressure system in the Atlantic. The hurricane will continue to move West Northwest and ride just offshore the North coast of Cuba Friday. The storm should maintain at least a category 4 or 5 status during this time frame with winds of 145mph+.

Now to Florida. Most of the computer models put the Irma as a dangerous cat 4 near the Southern tip of Florida by Saturday Night. The high gives way and loosens it grip on the storm. This allows the storm to take a dramatic Northerly turn. Where that turn specifically occurs is still up in the air. Will it be heading North just to the East of Fl, directly up the peninsula inland, or off the West coast of Florida? Questions that still need to be answered. The time is now to be prepared for a POSSIBLE landfalling dangerous hurricane in Florida. The map below is the National Hurricane Center track. Irma is still 3 days away from making the North turn. Much can happen to the anticipated track between now and then. Many of the computer models than take Irma into the Carolinas Monday Night. Forecasting track errors can be quite large between 3-5 days

Will our area feel any affects from Irma?  At this point its a very low chance, but we’ll have to monitor the track in the next several days.

Hurricane Irma is a extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane. Winds are sustained at 185mph as of this writing. Irma is now tied as the second strongest hurricane in the Atlantic basin. The storm will move North of Puerto Rico overnight. Irma caused catastrophic devastation over parts of the Northern Leeward islands.

The storm will continue to move along the Southern edge of a high pressure system in the Atlantic. This will cause Irma to track on the Northern shore or just off the coast of the Dominica Republic, Haiti and Cuba Thursday through Saturday. The hurricane should maintain at least a category 4 or 5 status during this time frame with winds of 145mph+.  The Southern Bahamas will likely be the next land area to experience a landfall from Irma late Thursday night or Friday morning.

Synopsis:

A slow moving front will basically stall for a time along the East coast causing on and off showers through Thursday morning. It’ll be significantly cooler.

The front will push offshore later Thursday with the sun returning by afternoon. Cool sunny days are expected for the close of the workweek into the weekend as strong high pressure moves into the Northeast.

Hurricane Irma is a extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane. Winds are sustained at 185mph as of this writing. Irma is now tied as the second strongest hurricane in the Atlantic basin. The storm is moving over the Northern Leeward Islands. Whether Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands get a direct hit is yet to be seen but the hurricane will be perilously close, so at a minimum some affects will be felt.

The storm will continue to move along the Southern edge of a high pressure system in the Atlantic. This will cause Irma to track on the Northern shore or just off the coast of the Dominica Republic, Haiti and Cuba Thursday through Saturday. The hurricane should maintain at least a category 4 or 5 status during this time frame with winds of 145mph+.
