Discussion
One last hurrah today from what remains of Hurricane Florence as it merges with a frontal system and produces showers and thunderstorms in the I-95 corridor. Some of the rain can be heavy at times today and some of the storms that form can get quite strong with gusty winds as the remnants pass by just to our northwest. After the remnants of Florence exit off of the Northeast US coastline late tonight, high pressure will take over here for the Wednesday-to-Friday time period. We’ll enjoy generally dry and sunny conditions during the second half of the week and then the next front will approach on Friday night from our northwest. The tropics have become generally quiet in the Atlantic Basin and should stay so for the next several days. In fact, as of late Monday, there were no tropical storms/hurricanes/cyclones anywhere around the world which is quite unusual in mid-September and it hasn’t been so since the end of July. There are signs, however, for a resumption of tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin later this month and/or during the month of October.
