A taste of fall is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region for the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday time period following the passage of a cold front later today. That frontal system will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening and some of the storms can be on the strong side. Temperatures for the next few days should peak in the 70’s for afternoon highs all along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor which is well below-normal for this time of year. Temperatures in the overnight hours will bottom in the lower 50’s in much of the I-95 corridor – coolest so far this season – and some spots could bottom out in the upper 40’s well to the northwest of the big cities.
Elsewhere, Ernesto has intensified slightly during the morning hours over the North Atlantic with latest observations showing 90 mph maximum sustained winds. This classifies Ernesto as a strong category 1 hurricane which is somewhat unusual in that it weakened to tropical storm status on Sunday after passing by the island of Bermuda. Ernesto will rush past Newfoundland later tonight and then it can very well impact Ireland/United Kingdom later in the week as an extratropical storm.

High pressure slid to our east on Thursday and this change in position has resulted in an influx of warm, humid air and the overall weather will become more unsettled for the next few days. In fact, the chance of showers and thunderstorms that increases today will stick around all weekend long with temperatures trending downward a bit with tomorrow’s highs near 90 and then the mid-to-upper 80’s for Sunday. A more comfortable air mass arrives for the early and middle portions of next week following the passage of a cool frontal system.

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.
