Discussion
High pressure ridging has set up shop over the Northeast US and it will result in hot and humid conditions around here into Thursday. A strong cool front will arrive later Thursday with the chance for showers and thunderstorms and it’ll turn noticeably cooler at the end of the week and for the upcoming weekend. Meanwhile, the tropical Atlantic has become quite active as we head towards the climatological peak (mid-September) of the tropical season. In fact, there is now a tropical storm (Gordon) over the Gulf of Mexico on its way towards the Mississippi/Louisiana border region where it will make landfall tonight and another tropical storm (Florence) out over the Atlantic Ocean. Yet a third system follows Florence still close to the Africa west coast – quite an active period for the next couple of weeks in the tropical Atlantic.
