7:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
A warm front passes today bringing a brief spike in humidity and a shot of warmth in that will actually peak tonight ahead of a cold front, and then that cold front will return cooler and drier air to the region during the weekend. The timing of this front means that the squall line of thunderstorms that forms on it well northwest of the region will weaken considerably to just a broken to scattered line of showers by the time it passes by in the early morning hours of Saturday. A second front will come through early Monday with no precipitation but will reinforce the cool air, and by Tuesday the warm air will try to make another come-back so we’ll be returning to clouds and eventually another wet weather threat. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Highs 73-79. Wind light SE becoming SW and increasing to 10-20 MPH.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Overnight showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Lows 62-68. Wind SW 15-25 MPH, gusts 30-40 MPH possible.
SATURDAY: Risk of a shower early otherwise sun and passing clouds. Highs 68-75. Wind NW 10-20 MPH early, gradually diminishing.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 52-58. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-72. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs from the lower to middle 60s.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Chance of rain late. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)
Spike of warmth but also a shower threat as a warm front / cold front combo passes September 26. A break with fair weather September 27. Another front with a shower risk September 28. Early call is for fair weather for the September 29-30 weekend.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 1-5)
Watching for a shot of very cool air to start the new month, but may be short-lived followed by a quick warm-up.

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
The winds will make “the rounds” the next couple days, northerly today as drier air moves in, easterly tonight ahead of a warm front, southerly Friday behind the warm front, westerly Friday night as a cold front approaches, then back to northerly Saturday as a new air mass arrives from Canada. The weather will change with the winds and the passage of these fronts. High pressure settles in with nice early autumn weather later in the period. Forecast details…
TODAY: Partly sunny. Highs 63-69. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Risk of a shower overnight. Lows 55-62. Wind light E.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with passing showers morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Highs 73-79. Wind S increasing to 10-20 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Overnight showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Lows 62-68. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Risk of a shower early otherwise sun and passing clouds. Highs 68-75. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle to upper 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to lower 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)
Warm air returns early in the period lead in by showers then gets pushed back out again by a couple fronts producing shower threats later in the period followed by a shot of cooler/drier air.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 4)
Early call is for a drier/cooler September 30 then an early October warm-up as the progression looks rather quick in the pattern.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
A maritime air flow will keep it from truly drying out today and Thursday. Some warmth and higher humidity returns Friday as a warm front passes, but a cold front on its heels passes by early Saturday, bringing a little drier air back in for the weekend. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Areas of drizzle and fog especially this morning. Highs 63-69. Wind NE to E 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows 55-62. Wind light E.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 63-69. Wind E to SE up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Risk of a shower overnight. Lows 55-62. Wind light SE.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy with passing showers morning. Partly cloudy afternoon. Variably cloudy with scattered showers and possibly a thunderstorm at night. Highs 73-79. Wind SE to SW 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Risk of a shower early otherwise sun and passing clouds. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle to upper 50s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)
Warm front comes back toward the region September 24 which itself will be a cool and rather cloudy day based on current timing, then we get into a warmer south to southwest flow for a couple or a few days middle of this period with mostly fair but more humid and warm conditions. Cold front puts an end to that bringing showers and a downward trend in temperature at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 3)
Early call is for a drier/cooler September 29-30 weekend then an early October warm-up as the progression looks rather quick in the pattern.

7:18AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)
The remains of Florence move through today with some heavy showers. Some of the heaviest will fall in a short period of time especially late morning and midday to the north and west, a little later to the south and east, resulting in quick ponding of water and some flash flooding. It all pulls away to the southeast tonight but clearing will be slow to arrive on Wednesday. Finally a stronger push of cooler and drier air makes you think of autumn on Thursday before we get right back into warm and more humid air ahead of a cold front Friday. That front will return a drier air mass to the region by the start of the weekend. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mainly cloudy though there will be some sun early southeast and possibly some sun late northwest. Numerous showers and downpours focused north and west of Boston at first then shifting southeastward with time. Chance of a few thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 70-77. Wind variable 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with showers ending. Areas of fog. Humid. Lows 58-64. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Gradual clearing. Drying out. Highs 67-74. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 49-56. Wind light N.
THURSDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 63-69. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. More humid. Risk of showers at night. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to around 80.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Less humid. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)
Fair and pleasant weather September 23 for the first full day of autumn. A boundary will be nearby September 24 with lots of clouds, then should push northward to allow warmer than average weather and mostly rain-free conditions for the balance of this period, though the boundary may begin to head back to the south at the very end of the period with a shower risk returning.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 2)
Boundary nearby should make the final days of September unsettled before a push of cooler/drier air follows to start October.

7:22AM

COMMENTARY
Florence was a serious storm, make no mistake about it. However, if you look at the parameters of the system, it generally under-performed in all areas if you take an average message that the bulk of media was sending in the days leading up to it. While I agree that it is always better to prepare for the worst, it was also clear from a meteorological perspective that some of the things being talked about were simply not going to take place. Are we going to treat every hurricane now like it’s coming in as the “worst ever”? This is not going to work. It will add to complacency. While there were (and still are in some cases) areas that received very serious flooding due to rainfall, many other areas pretty much guaranteed to did not, and this will result in ignorance come the next storm, which will lead to trouble should things be serious in those very areas where the forecast is not taken seriously. But once again, we saw a whole lot of dramatics and a lot of lost realism. There were some good forecasts made out there, such as the storm weakening to a low end category 2 or high end category 1 before landfall, but also reminding the receivers of the forecast to not focus on just the category, or the top winds, because there were other aspects of the storm that were quite serious. Again, the quest for ratings has resulted in a failure to educate. One of most disturbing examples that I witnessed during this event was a well-known reporter for a well-known cable network basically faking or over-dramatizing the impact of the wind during a live report, standing as if it was difficult to keep their balance in the tremendous onslaught coming into their face. Only problem is, the wind was at their back, and the footing maneuvers will never be nominated for an Oscar. And I didn’t even have to mention the 2 people casually strolling by just feet behind the reporter, without much difficulty whatsoever. Oops. Again, make no mistake that Florence was a serious storm, but in the big picture, Florence was no Hugo, was no Andrew, was no Hazel, was no Katrina, was no Harvey, etc. Let’s label things as they are. Florence, was simply Florence. My best wishes for all impacted for as quick and complete a recovery as is possible.

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)
One more nice day to start the new week, and then we’ll be dealing with the remains of Florence in the form of heavy rain on Tuesday as they track right across southern New England, loaded with tropical moisture. Flooding may be an issue as this system passes, but there will not be any significant wind issues. Behind it will come a shot of drier and somewhat cooler air during the middle of the week before a quick warm-up follows just ahead of a cold front at the end of the week. Forecast details…
TODAY: Patchy fog early otherwise clouds break for sun. Highs 75-80 coast, 80-85 interior. Wind light SW with coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Clouding over. Showers arriving after midnight. Humid. Lows 63-69. Wind light SW.
TUESDAY: Overcast with widespread showers, becoming heavy at times. Chance of thunderstorms especially from early afternoon to evening. Humid. Highs 70-77. Wind SW to variable 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy with showers diminishing. Areas of fog. Humid. Lows 58-64. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Gradual clearing. Drying out. Highs 67-74. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
THURSDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 60s.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Risk of showers at night. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)
High pressure builds in with mainly fair weather over the weekend of September 22-23, but it may start and end with lots of clouds. A disturbance in the area brings clouds and a possible shower September 24 then mostly fair weather for the end of this period. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 1)
Some wet weather early in the period followed by a shot of somewhat cooler air toward the final days of the month or the very start of October. Low confidence forecast at this point.

Good afternoon all!

This is a reminder that commenting will resume with Monday’s blog update.

It’s time to move beyond the circumstances which forced me to take a couple days break from comments, but before I do that, just a quick reminder of why it had to be done. Personally most important was health. I’m trying to recover from a flare of a life-long disease. Stress makes this almost impossible. So that was a major factor. The other major factor was just simply that an out of control run of messages ignoring one of my major basic rules was taking place. I don’t allow political debate on this blog. This blog is for weather. There have always been times that I have allowed other discussions to slip in here and there, such as the natural gas incident or some sports talk, and other things that are common to us all. But regardless if it is one of these topics or the main topic of weather, the other major rule is people are not to wage personal attacks of any kind. It’s simply not allowed here. I think that’s easy enough to understand and abide by. If the issue is one that you just can’t let go of, then kindly invite the person to contact you privately so you can talk about your issues with them. I don’t think it’s too much to ask of any of you to just keep to the topic the blog is about and keep it civil. I created this blog to get away from the behavior that was prevalent in less-moderated forums. Let’s make it work for that purpose. Thanks in advance for your support in this endeavor.

REMINDER
Comments will be unavailable for one more day but will be re-opened with Monday’s update.

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)
High pressure remains in control of the weather into Monday, then the remains of Florence arrive and pass through the region Monday night and Tuesday with some significant rainfall. Behind this comes a drier and somewhat cooler air mass for the middle of the coming week. Forecast details…
TODAY: Foggy areas into mid morning. Low clouds break for sun. Highs 76-84. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Wind light SW.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 78-86. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Clouding over. Rain arriving overnight. More humid. Lows 65-72. Wind SW 5-15 MPH becoming variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Numerous showers including downpours. Chance of thunderstorms. Very humid. Highs 72-77. Wind variable 5-15 MPH but higher gusts possible.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Breezy. Less humid. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.
THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Dry. Lows from the upper 40s to middle 50s. Highs in the 60s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
Progressive pattern. Quick warm up with a rain shower threat later September 21 then high pressure should dominate for a fair weather weekend September22-23 as autumn arrives. Next front due around September 24 with shower threat before fair weather ends the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)
Unsettled weather possible during the first half of the period followed by a return to drier weather as September comes to an end. Temperatures near to above normal.

Effective immediately, there will no longer be a gardening page on WHW. It has not been used in 2 1/2 years and I see no reason to continue having it here.

I am contemplating removal of the contests page as well, and a major format change for the layout of the blog, probably by October 1.

Thank you.

This email is for weather-related questions only. NO questions about the status of the blog will be answered. Also, if you have access to contacting me in other ways, do not do so with the purposes of talking about the blog’s status. I am not discussing it with anybody. Thank you in advance for respecting this.

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 15-19)
High pressure brings generally nice weather this weekend, but we’ll have to share the atmosphere with some marine air, which means some areas will be very foggy to start today, and again later tonight into early Sunday. The remains of Florence will approach from the southwest via the Appalachians and Upper Ohio Valley by late Monday and will bring some wet weather to the region during Tuesday, followed by a shot of drier air behind a cold front pushing it all off to the east by Wednesday. Forecast details…
TODAY: Foggy areas into mid morning. Low clouds break for sun. Highs 74-82. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Low clouds return and fog redevelops in some areas. Lows 58-65. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Foggy areas into mid morning. Low clouds break for sun. Highs 76-84. Wind light variable with sea breezes.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 60-67. Wind light SW.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 78-86. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Numerous showers including downpours. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Breezy. Less humid. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
Progressive pattern brings a brief shot of cool air to start, a quick warm up, and a couple fronts with shower risks about late September 21 into September 22 and again September 24.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)
Another episode of showery weather about the middle of this period otherwise generally fair and mild.

7:40AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)
Changes over the next 5 days but timing of things allows a great weekend ahead. First today it takes some time to get rid of low level moisture with areas of fog and lots of cloudiness gradually dissipating for more sun, then high pressure dominating for a great weather weekend. By later Monday and especially Tuesday the weather will go downhill as a disturbance from the west and the remnants of Florence approach and move in, with a return to some wet weather. Forecast details…
TODAY: Areas of fog early. Mostly cloudy start, mostly sunny finish. Highs 72-80. Wind light N.
TONIGHT: Areas of low clouds and patchy fog redevelop. Lows 58-64. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs 74-82. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Areas of low clouds and patchy fog redevelop. Lows 58-64. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Partly to mostly sunny. Highs 74-82. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Sunny start, cloudy finish, possible rain at night. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Rain or showers likely. Chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
Fair weather returns September 19-20 before a front moves through around September 21 with a shower threat, then more fair weather after that. Temperatures near to above normal overall.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)
Mild with fair weather to start, a shower threat, then a shot of cooler air to finish the period in a fairly progressive pattern.

7:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 13-17)
One more unsettled day today as an old boundary slowly dissipates over the region but lots of moisture remains in place with little to push it away. High pressure builds over the region starting Friday lasting through the remainder of this period with great weather. Discussion about Florence will be in the comments section between myself and anybody else that wants to participate. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Showers and thunderstorms near the South Coast until mid morning. Highs 70-78. Wind light NE to N.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy start, mostly sunny finish. Highs 72-80. Wind light N.
SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)
A risk of some wet weather front a front moving through from the west and possibly some moisture associated with the remains of Florence in the September 18-19 window, dry and cooler September 20-21 then a quick warm-up at the end of the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)
A more progressive pattern, starting warm followed by a shower threat then a shot of cooler/drier air.

7:16AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)
An old frontal boundary will sit over the region today and Thursday, providing some focus for shower and thunderstorm development. High pressure strengthens over the region at the end of the week and erodes the boundary and replaces unsettled weather with fair weather. Meanwhile, the Hurricane Florence watch continues as the powerful hurricane nears the Carolinas where it looks like there will be a landfall, the details of which (speed and direction of storm) are still somewhat unknown. There will be serious storm surge, rainfall, and wind in that area, with major impact. One possible positive aspect may be that the storm may, after intensifying some today, start to weaken and briefly make a turn to parallel the coast before eventually landfalling. This could expand the area impacted by surge but at the same time lessen the level of it. It also would mean slightly lesser wind impact if the weakening were significant enough. Rainfall is always a wildcard and we’ll have to see where heavier bands set-up and move. If we ever hear from the remnants, it will not be before the end of this 5-day period. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, favoring RI and eastern MA this morning, and favoring areas closer to the South Coast this afternoon. Highs 70-78. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Scattered showers. Lows 60-67. Wind light NE.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms, favoring the morning hours. Highs 70-78. Wind light NE to E.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-67. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 72-80. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY & SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)
A risk of some wet weather front a front moving through from the west and possibly some moisture associated with Florence anywhere from later September 17 through September 19, then a shot of cooler/drier air to end the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)
A more progressive pattern, warming up early in the period, a risk of showers following that, and then a cool down to end the period.

7:27AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)
Boundary sits over the region for a few days with unsettled weather, then dry air pushes in from the north late this week and brings improvement. All the while we’ll be watching Hurricane Florence for its impact to the south, looking more and more like at least some kind of landfall on the NC Coast, speed and exact position to be determined. Either way major impacts will take place down there and you’ll find discussions about that in the comments section. Forecast details…
TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. Patchy fog. Humid. Highs 70-80. Lows 60-70. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.
FRIDAY & SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the lower 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)
Fair weather to start as high pressure dominates, then some occasional unsettled weather follows and some of this may be associated with remains of Florence, depending on where that goes. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
A little more changeable weather expected with cool shots early and late in the period, a warm-up mid period and a risk of some wet weather before the second cool shot.

7:33AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 10-14)
As far as our forecast is concerned there are no significant changes to make for today’s blog update. The remains of TS Gordon combined with Midwest low pressure bring wet weather into the region during today and deliver humidity back to the region tonight and Tuesday, along with a shower/t-storm risk, that will last into midweek. It should dry out a bit later in the week as a little drier air works down from the Maritimes with another in a seemingly endless string of high pressure areas building across southeastern Canada. Meanwhile, the Florence watch will continue with the only impact here being increased ocean swells later in the week. The storm itself will impact the Carolinas more directly starting at midweek and it is still unclear if it will plow straight inland or slow down and start meandering. Hope to have a clearer picture of this by tomorrow. Forecast details…
TODAY: Cloudy. Rain arriving west to east, steadiest north and west of Boston. Highs 61-67. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH but higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Rain tapering to showers. Areas of fog. Humid. Lows 58-65 early then slowly rising. Wind SE to SW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Humid. Scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms. Highs 76-84. Wind SW 5-15 MPH becoming variable.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Humid. Isolated showers and thunderstorms. Lows 67-74. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Isolated showers favoring the South Coast. Humid. Highs 77-84. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers near the South Coast. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Less humid. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 15-19)
High pressure will control our weather which will be fair and warmer than average September 15-16. During this time, we’ll be watching what Florence has done. Depending on the outcome, we may or may not see indirect impact here, but if there is going to be remnant rain, the September 17-18 period seems most likely with fair weather returning for the end of the period. Many details to work out.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
Still lower than average confidence on this time period, but leaning toward a dry and warm start then a cooler trend, with mainly dry weather.

8:11AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)
Our cooler weekend continues and again a day of very limited sun as that expansive high cloud veil connected to former TS Gordon fans across the region, then thickens up and lowers as the rainfall from the system gets here Monday, making for a wet start to the new week. This leads more humidity into the region which we will feel Tuesday through Thursday. It won’t be as oppressively humid or nearly as hot as recent days, however. The shower and thunderstorm threat will be greatest Tuesday with a boundary nearby and this will settle across the South Coast at midweek keeping a slight risk of a few showers there but otherwise the weather will be mainly rain-free by midweek. We’ll continue to monitor Hurricane Florence, which will be approaching the US Southeast Coast by midweek as well. There is no threat of an impact up here during this period, except for some increased ocean swells early to mid next week. Forecast details…
TODAY: Mostly cloudy – some filtered sunshine. Highs 64-71. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 50-57. Wind light NE to E.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Rain arriving west to east morning. Rainy afternoon. More humid. Highs 62-69. Wind E to SE 5-15 MPH but higher gusts.
MONDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Rain tapering to showers. Areas of fog. Humid. Lows 58-65. Wind SE to SW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.
TUESDAY: Partly sunny. Humid. Chance of showers. Slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs 76-84. Wind SW 5-15 MPH becoming variable.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers near the South Coast. Humid. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)
High pressure will control our weather which will be fair and warmer than average September 14-16. During this time, we’ll be watching Hurricane Florence to the south. There is a range of possibilities with that hurricane that include a landfall somewhere on the US Southeast Coast to a sharp curve north then northeast near or just off the coast of North Carolina. Similar to what you read here yesterday, details won’t be known for a couple or a few days, possibly even right up until the time the storm arrives down there. If there were to be impacts from remnant rain it would most likely take place late in this forecast period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
Still lower than average confidence on this time period, but leaning toward a dry and warm start then a cooler trend to follow.
