Discussion
An extended stretch of mild weather has begun in the eastern half of the nation as strong high pressure ridging dominates at all levels of the atmosphere. Given the time of year with increasingly long nights, this mild weather pattern will be quite conducive to the formation of late night and early morning fog. On the tropical scene, the remnants of Hurricane Eta are likely to re-emerge over the Caribbean Sea later today and could pose a threat to Cuba and southern Florida by early next week.
