Discussion
A cool front will head through the area today and then large high pressure will build into the Northeast US from southeastern Canada. This high pressure system should control the weather around here in the Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday time frame. Elsewhere, Matthew continues to churn very slowly in the central Caribbean as a major (category 4) hurricane. It will have a major impact over the next few days across Jamaica, eastern Cuba and - worst of all – the country of Haiti. The most damaging side of the hurricane in terms of wind, rain and storm surge it its right side and this is what will slam into Haiti during the next few days. Beyond that, the Bahama Island chain will suffer Matthew’s wrath later in the week as it slowly grinds its way towards the Southeast US coastline where it will likely meander for a few more days before hopefully turning to the northeast and away from the US. This system still a long way to go on the weather scene and nothing is set in stone beyond five days or so.
