The weather will remain quite nice through much of the day on Friday, but a tropical storm along the east coast will impact us here with rain and wind from later tomorrow night through much of the weekend. High pressure will slide off the New England coastline on Friday at the same time low pressure intensifies over the still very warm waters of the Southwest Atlantic. This system is likely to take on tropical characteristics as it moves in a general northward direction impacting the region with rain and wind on Saturday. The combination of the intensifying low pressure to the south and departing high pressure to the north will result in a tightening pressure gradient in the Mid-Atlantic region during this weather event. The result of this will be strong and persistent onshore winds and an increased chance of coastal flooding.

A storm threat continues for the late week/weekend near and along the east coast with the potential of heavy rain and strong onshore winds. Low pressure will form just off the Southeast US coastline over very warm waters of the southwestern Atlantic and likely take on “tropical” characteristics. Whether or not this system becomes classified as “tropical” remains to be seen; however, the end result could be the same with heavy rain on the table and persistent strong onshore winds; especially, for coastal sections from the Carolinas to southern New England.

The weather will remain quite nice in the Mid-Atlantic region through much of the day on Friday, but the weekend looks like it will feature some rain depending on the movement of a storm that is to form off the Southeast US coastline. High pressure will remain in control around here through the end of the work week resulting in plenty of sunshine each day along with fall-like temperatures. A storm will form at week’s end over the warm waters of the SW Atlantic and then move in a general northward direction - likely impacting the region with rain and wind on Saturday. This system should take on “tropical” characteristics and will interact act with strong high pressure to the north to generate persistent and strong onshore flow; especially, along coastal sections of the Delmarva.

The weather looks very nice in the Mid-Atlantic region from today through Friday, but the weekend could feature some rain depending on the movement of a storm that forms off of the Southeast US coastline. High pressure builds into the region today and will be in control through Friday generating plenty of sunshine each day along with fall-like temperatures. A storm is likely to form at week’s end and then move in a general northward direction. Whether there is a direct hit here or a glancing blow is still a bit too early to determine. This system could take on tropical characteristics and will interact act with strong high pressure to the north to generate persistent onshore flow along the coast.

A storm threat exists for the weekend near or along the east coast with the potential of a widespread soaking rain event featuring persistent and strong onshore winds. Low pressure looks like it will form late this week just off the Southeast US coastline over very warm waters of the southwestern Atlantic and likely take on “tropical” characteristics. With high pressure expected to build to its north and east, this low pressure system should push northward right through the eastern states. Whether or not this system becomes classified as “tropical” remains to be seen; however, the end result could be the same with heavy rain and strong winds on the table.

Low pressure will pull away from the region today and high pressure will then resume its control on the Mid-Atlantic region. After early day clouds and residual showers, sunshine will return for the mid-day and afternoon and the remainder of the work week looks quite nice with plenty of sunshine each day and very comfortable temperatures. Strong low pressure may try to ride up along the east coast this weekend potentially bringing widespread and soaking rain to the region.

The overall weather pattern in the Mid-Atlantic region for the next several days will be quite nice, but there will be a couple of hiccups along the way. With the passage of Hurricane Lee to our east, the pressure gradient field around here may intensify enough for some gusty winds from later today into tomorrow and the winds will be even more noticeable at the Delmarva coastline. Also, clouds may extend this far to the west of Hurricane Lee for awhile from late today into early Saturday. On Sunday, a frontal system will approach and this can result in showers later in the day or at night. Temperatures for the next several days will generally hold in the comfortable 70’s during the afternoon hours and drop to the cool 50’s for overnight lows. Hurricane Lee has its sights set on eastern New England/Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) and will cause rough surf all along the US east coast through the weekend.

An extended stretch of beautiful fall-like weather began late yesterday in the Mid-Atlantic region following the passage of a strong cool front. Temperatures in this extended stretch of nice weather in the Mid-Atlantic region will generally hold in the 70’s during the afternoon hours and drop to the 50’s for overnight lows…very comfortable for the middle of September. High pressure will stay in control around here for the next several days and Hurricane Lee passes well to our east this weekend. Hurricane Lee has its sights set on eastern New England/Atlantic Canada and will cause rough surf all along the US east coast in coming days.

Hurricane Lee remains as a “major” category 3 system and has begun its turn to the north as it becomes increasingly influenced by an upper-level trough over the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley. This turn to the north will come with gradually increasing forward speed and will bring Hurricane Lee to the west of Bermuda on Thursday where there will be tropical storm conditions. As an upper-level ridge intensifies over the NW Atlantic late in the week, Hurricane Lee may actually take a turn slightly to the left which will bring it close to southeastern New England. Hurricane Lee is then likely to become “post-tropical” as it potentially reaches coastal Maine/New Brunswick later in the weekend. Despite movement over colder waters before its landfall and a likely slight weakening in central pressure, the pressure gradient will remain intense between this powerful storm system and intensifying high pressure to the north. As a result, a significant impact is possible this weekend from eastern New England to Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) with torrential rains and hurricane-force winds on the table.

Showers and thunderstorms overspread the region last night associated with an incoming strong cool frontal system. That front works its way through the area today and sets the stage for an extended stretch of beautiful fall-like weather in the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures in this extended period of nice weather will generally hold in the 70’s for afternoon highs and the 50’s for overnight lows…quite comfortable for the middle of September.
