Discussion
High pressure that has been in control of our weather for much of this week has now shifted off the coast and this repositioning will open the door to more humid air and the return of shower and thunderstorm activity. The shower and thunderstorm activity can begin late tonight and should continue on an occasional basis on both weekend days and some of the rain can be heavy at times. Temperatures will climb to quite warm levels later this afternoon with highs in the upper 80’s, but they should be confined to the lower 80’s on Saturday and Sunday largely as a result of the expected copious amounts of clouds. A cold front that will be trailing low pressure to our north this weekend will push through here later Monday and it’ll usher in a beautiful air mass for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels.
Elsewhere, Hurricane Ernesto will impact Bermuda on Saturday and then likely maintain hurricane strength for awhile later in the weekend as it pushes towards the Atlantic Canada. While the center of Ernesto will be well to the east this weekend, there can be rough surf and rip tides up and down the east coast on both weekend days.
