Discussion
High pressure moving off the New England coastline will continue to provide us with comfortable temperature and humidity levels as we begin the new work week along with partly sunny skies. After a mostly cloudy on Tuesday, it’ll turn warmer on Wednesday ahead of another cold frontal system and there will be an increased chance of showers and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, a tropical system off the east coast will continue to push to the northeast over the next couple days and it could intensify into a tropical storm. Tropical Storm ‘Dorian’ has picked up slightly in intensity during the past 24 hours as it closes in on the Windward Islands and eastern Caribbean. Its maximum sustained winds are now up to 60 mph with movement to the west at 14 mph.
