Discussion
Strong high pressure continues to reside over the Northeast US and southeastern part of Canada and it will keep us comfortably warm and generally rain-free during the next couple of days. There are signs that a tropical system now over the southwestern Caribbean Sea could strengthen as it moves northward over the next few days and very well could be situated over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend as a hurricane (would be named "Nate"). The potential even exists for tropical moisture from this system to ride up northward through the eastern US states during the early part of next week and producing some much needed rain around here in the Mid-Atlantic region.
