Discussion
Strong high pressure ridging to our north will continue to result in very comfortable conditions around here with plenty of sunshine each day through Friday and no rain. Temperatures will max out today not far from the 70 degree mark and overnight lows will come close to the 50 degree mark in many suburban locations. The high pressure system responsible for this nice weather will shift off the coast this weekend and that will open the door for warmer air and highs well up into the 80’s again on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Elsewhere, tropical depression “Imelda” will bring torrential rain to the southeastern part of Texas over the next couple of days and a new tropical storm (“Jerry”) has formed in the central Atlantic. Hurricane Humberto has strengthened into “major” hurricane status (category 3) and will hit the island of Bermuda later tonight with hurricane force winds and heavy rainfall. The Atlantic Basin tropical season will likely remain active through September and into the month of October.
