NYC Sunny Cool Day Tropical Storm Could Impact Southeast Coast
Hello everyone. Another day of filling in for Angry Ben and he’s missing out on all the fun that is the tropics getting active again off of Florida. We also have a cool day in place today, and should be warming up this weekend. Not a perfect weekend in store, but not a bad one either.
SATELLITE
Aside from some high cirrus clouds, clouds have moved out of the area and we will enjoy a cool, sunny day. That cool weather is courtesy of that slow moving front which finally sunk south, and high pressure giving us some steady east winds. Highs today will be in the upper 60’s to low 70’s.
REGIONAL RADAR
Over the weekend a weak front will take its energy well north of us. That will help change the wind direction and some south winds will help bring in warmer air. It’ll also bring in a mix of sun and clouds with the slight chance of some scattered showers. Don’t expect any washouts though and people with outdoor plans should keep them. Highs both Saturday and Sunday and warmer and humid upper 70’s to possibly low 80’s if we get some extra sun.
I continue to see a warm start to the week, with some 80’s possible for Monday before we return to reality Tuesday onward with seasonal temps and dry weather.
TROPICAL UPDATE
Tropical Depression #9 is expected to become Tropical Storm Humberto and impact some of the same areas of the Bahamas and Florida that Dorian did. This won’t be a catastrophic storm like Dorian, but the timing is very bad, giving areas that don’t need rain, more rain. Plus, it could hinder recovery efforts in the Bahamas as well.
I will be watching closely as it develops as this area is notorious for quick development, but the big story here will be the similar track to Dorian and unwanted impacts, even if minor/moderate. Expect the system to then scoot offshore by the Carolinas, and become a hazard to shipping only.
