Discussion
The remnants of Tropical Storm “Fred” have moved to the north of here into upstate New York and the chance for rain here today will diminish; but not disappear completely. The atmosphere will remain unstable enough for isolated-to-scattered showers and thunderstorms later today as well as tonight and on Friday. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm “Henri” continues to churn slowly out over the western Atlantic Ocean and is on the doorstep of attaining hurricane status (max sustained winds now at 70 mph). The unfolding upper air pattern may allow for movement of Henri towards New England later this weekend and all residents along the Northeast US coastline should monitor this system in coming days.
