Texas Awaits Future Hurricane Beta & Northeast Very Quiet
Good morning everyone. All is quiet in the Northeast with high pressure locking in and protecting us from the rest of the chaos around us. That chaos would be the busiest tropical season since 2005, with 3 named storms roaming around – Teddy, Wilfred, and Beta.
Tropical Storm Wilfred was supposed to be our Gulf system, but a depression off of Africa won the race; so now our Gulf system is Tropical storm Beta. Beta will be an issue for Texas and Louisiana once again as it strengthens into a hurricane, and slowly rakes the coast with flooding rain. Meanwhile, Teddy is doing Teddy things, with winds near 125mph. Thankfully it’ll just brush Bermuda with some fringe effects and no damaging conditions, but Nova Scotia may get nailed hard as it races north eventually.
SATELLITE
For us, the smoke and haze has cleared out and we can finally see the blue skies again. However, the morning was on the chilly side in the 40’s, and you should expect a couple more crisp nights ahead. Look for full sunshine today with low to mid 60’s as highs under breezy conditions. Lows overnight tonight will be in the mid to upper 40’s, and some areas away from the City may see some 30’s.
REGIONAL RADAR
Sunshine, breezy conditions, and cool air holds on strong tomorrow, with highs once again in the low to mid 60’s.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
To start the week, Monday morning will be on the chilly side again and in the mid to upper 40’s. Sunshine continues, but the breeze settles down. Highs in the mid 60’s.
Tuesday starts the climb, with sunshine and highs in the upper 60’s to low 70’s. Wednesday we could see upper 70’s to near 80, then near 80 on Thursday.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
Questions remain as to if the warmth can hold on, or does cooler air sneak back in. Either way, we are seeing a cool air-dominant long range even if the warm air sneaks back in temporarily.
