Discussion
The very hot weather of the past few days will continue for another day, but then a back door cool front will bring temperatures down to more reasonable levels for the latter part of the week. Highs today will likely reach the mid 90’s, but will be much closer to the 90 degree mark as we close out the work week and head into the weekend. An upper-level ridge of high pressure will dominate the scene across the northeastern US and southeaster Canada and ridging will extend into the Tennessee Valley and southern Plains as well. Elsewhere, tropical depression “Imelda” will bring torrential rain to the southeastern part of Texas over the next couple of days and a new tropical storm (“Jerry”) has formed in the central Atlantic. Hurricane Humberto has strengthened into “major” hurricane status (category 3) and will hit the island of Bermuda later tonight with hurricane force winds and heavy rainfall. The Atlantic Basin tropical season will likely remain active through September and into the month of October.
