DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tropical moisture lingers in the form of fog, drizzle, and a few showers, but a drying trend (in terms of rain chances) takes place today, but not so much humidity, that will be sticking around (pun potentially intended) for a while. A more general onshore flow will develop as we get into the weekend which will keep temperatures in check though, so no high heat to go along with the mugginess. As you know by now, a hurricane watch has been issued for the New England South Coast in response to the threat from Henri, which is going to make an approach to New England later this weekend from the south. There are still questions to be answered regarding the ultimate track of the center of that storm and this will determine the details of its impact on our region. This morning we see a variety of model solutions, which is no surprise, and we see a track from the NHC that brings the center onto the South Coast as a category 1 hurricane late on Sunday. However, there are scenarios on the table still covering a sooner turn to the left, or a jog to the right, and even a non-landfall. So the fine-tuning of this will be ongoing throughout the next few days so we can pin down what is most likely to happen and where. For this blog update, you won’t find grand detail in the forecast because I don’t feel that it is possible to responsibly do that yet. We should just be prepared for all of the things that a system like this can deliver and result in: strong wind with damage, heavy rain, flooding, power outages. Whatever Henri ends up bringing us, we will see improving conditions by later Monday through Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
