Discussion

The remains of Irma will bring us the chance for showers by later today and that threat will continue into the late week as the system stalls out as it gradually dissipates. It’ll turn slightly warmer as the week progresses and the overall cool pattern of the first ten days of September will evolve into a warmer pattern relative-to-normal as we head towards the second half of the month. Meanwhile, Hurricane Jose will take an erratic pattern over the few days over the western Atlantic and then it should take a more consistent path to the northwest and towards the US east coast. We may to deal with Jose as a threat in the Mid-Atlantic region somewhere by the middle or latter part of next week.
