Our forecast for the rest of the Labor Day Weekend just got BETTER. Much more optimistic. I have taken rain out of the forecast for today, Monday and Tuesday. High today, Monday and Tuesday in the upper 80’s. (Acceptable humidity – Dewpoints in the low to mid 60’s) Next chance of widely scattered storms will be on Wednesday. Much of the week ahead will be dry. There will be a complete blog update in the 4 o’clock hour Monday morning.

WEEKEND UPDATE (issued Saturday):

 Good morning!  It’s certainly not an unusual Labor Day Weekend forecast. There will be random showers and a few storm on the radar each of the next several  days – through mid-week.  But, I have lowered the probability of getting wet.  Most days the rain chance will be 30% or less.  High temperatures will be held down by clouds and showers. No 90 degree highs are expected for the next few days.  The tropics are quiet for now, but the EURO model warns that we need to monitor possible homegrown Tropical Development in the northern Gulf and SE US coastline along a stalled front. 

TODAY:  Mostly cloudy.  Random widely scattered showers and thunderstorms, most numerous in the afternoon and evening hours. BEST rain chance in the southern and SE counties.   High 81.  Low tonight 66

NEXT FEW DAYS:  . Expect more random scattered storms over the rest of the Labor Day weekend. By Monday and Tuesday the storms will be widely scattered to isolated in nature. Highs will be mostly in  the mid 80’s.  A mid-week front will deliver some late week humidity relief again.

Here’s the 10  Day Temperature Trend.   We’re probably going to stay below 90 for a few more days.

BEACH OLUTLOOK:  Far from an ideal Holiday Weekend forecast. Be flexible…It’ll be wet at times over the holiday weekend.  Showers and storms will be rather numerous Saturday.

FUTURE RADAR:    Unfortunately for Beach goers, the more concentrated rain will be on the coast. 

TROPICAL OUTLOOK:    

There’s still only one feature on the map.  

There is an area to watch in the far east Atlantic off the African Coast, with a low probability of development in the next 7 days.

The EURO model suggest we need to watch the northern Gulf and the SE coast next week for possible Depression Development.

FALL COUUNTDOWN:  The Autumnal Equinox is now just 24 days away.

The next scheduled Blog update and Video Discussion is scheduled for Monday morning in the 4 o’clock hour.   Have a nice weekend!
