Discussion

Following a frontal passage in the overnight hours, less humid air will move into the region and we’ll have a return of mainly sunny skies. High pressure will continue to maintain control of our weather on Friday and the holiday weekend is looking pretty decent with rather comfortable temperatures for the end of August. Meanwhile, on the tropical scene, Hurricane Dorian has become a major threat for the SE US and especially the Florida Peninsula as it will encounter favorable atmospheric and oceanic conditions over the next few days which could result in the attainment of “major” hurricane status for the storm.
