A weak upper-level trough of low pressure will slide across the Tennessee Valley during the next couple of days and it could spark a few showers; primarily, focused on the afternoon hours. An upper-level low will push into the Midwest at mid-week and this can generate a few showers and thunderstorms in the region.

The next few days will feature mainly warm, dry conditions around here with highs generally in the middle 80’s. By the latter part of the weekend and early part of next week, moisture will increase and so will the chance for showers and thunderstorms.

High pressure over the Tennessee Valley will shift northeast over the next couple of days to a position over the Appalachian Mountains. This should result in additional dry weather around here along with comfortably warm temperatures.

High pressure over the Tennessee Valley will gradually shift northeast over the next couple of days to a position over the Appalachian Mountains. This should result in rain-free weather around here along with comfortably warm temperatures. It looks like the Tennessee valley will still remain under the influence of the high pressure system even though it shifts farther to the east and temperatures will remain rather seasonal for this time of year.

Temperatures will remain a bit below-normal for the next couple of days with low-level NW flow on the heels of a frontal passage. Temperatures will climb back to seasonal levels at mid-week and it looks like we’ll have a stretch of sunny weather with highs each around in the middle 80’s.

Temperatures will remain comfortably warm around here for the next several days with highs generally in the lower or middle 80’s. Hurricane Lee will push northward in the western Atlantic and has its sights set on eastern New England/Atlantic Canada. Another tropical system over the central Atlantic will likely intensify into tropical storm or hurricane status in coming days and will be closely monitored.

Comfortable temperatures and humidity levels will continue around here into the weekend with nothing more than an isolated shower possible on Friday. Later in the weekend, a cool front will approach from the northwest increases chances for a shower or thunderstorm on Sunday and Monday.

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.

A cool front passed through the region late Tuesday and comfortable weather will follow for the next few days. Temperatures will climb no higher than about 80 degrees for afternoon highs and overnight lows are likely to range from the upper 50’s to lower 60’s. The next chance for a shower or thunderstorm likely comes on Friday and the weekend can be somewhat unsettled.

The climatological peak of the Atlantic Basin tropical season is right around this time of year and it is certainly living up to its billing. Lee remains a category 3 “major’ hurricane today and continues to move slowly on a west-northwest track over very warm waters of the tropical Atlantic Ocean. It will soon take a turn to the north as it becomes increasingly influenced by an upper-level trough that will build over the eastern states. Lee will likely have a significant impact on eastern New England this weekend with heavy rains and strong winds as it pushes towards Maine or Nova Scotia as a tropical storm or a “post-tropical” system. Elsewhere in the Atlantic Basin, Margot has reached hurricane status; however, its future looks rather harmless as it likely weakens on its northward trek to a position over the Northern Atlantic. Another tropical system is located over the eastern Atlantic and it should intensify in coming days as it pushes over some very warm waters of the tropical Atlantic.
