A lot changed in the last 24 hours, especially regarding the future of Hurricane Matthew. We knew this was possible and had been cautioning it. I first dismissed a run of a model that decided Matthew was more likely to do an anticyclonic loop off the US Southeast Coast instead of heading northeastward after its close pass to or just onto the coasts of Florida and\/or the Carolinas. Now there is more evidence that this loop will take place, and the ultimate destiny still appears to be well south of New England, just much later than originally expected. But that’s weather. We forecast it. We update the forecasts. Sometimes we know sooner. Sometimes we can’t know until it’s almost too late to matter. What we do know is that there will be some significant impact on the eastern coast of Florida up through the Carolinas in the next few days, regardless if the center comes ashore or not. More about Matthew below and expanded thoughts will follow in the comments while this post is up and of course with the updated post tomorrow. And my apologies for the very late post today!<\/p>\n
DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 5-9)…
\nHigh pressure will control the weather through early Saturday with fair weather and a warming trend. Now that Matthew is not in the picture through the weekend, all we can expect is some showers Saturday night and Sunday morning with the passage of a cold front.
\nREMAINDER OF TODAY: Sunshine. Temperatures 58-68, mildest far inland. Wind NE 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
\nTONIGHT: Clear. Lows 40-45 valleys, 45-52 elsewhere. Wind light E.
\nTHURSDAY: Sunny. Highs 65-73, coolest coast. Wind light SE.

DAYS 6-10 (OCTOBER 10-14)…
\nAt this time with Matthew’s resolution likely taking place well south of this area, we’ll end up with a dry and mild pattern, though it may trend cooler later in the period.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 15-19)…
\nA couple rain shower episodes and variable temperatures, but averaging near to above normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
