Strong high pressure centered to our northeast will continue to control the weather around here right through the upcoming weekend. By early next week, with the strong high pressure system still positioned to our north and east, a tropical disturbance is likely to form somewhere near the Southeast US coastline. This system should then push slowly to the north potentially bringing some beneficial rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region by later Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Hurricane Francine made landfall late yesterday in central Louisiana and will bring multiple impacts today and tonight to the Tennessee Valley. There will be occasional showers both today and tonight and possible embedded thunderstorms to go along with cooler and windy conditions with gusts to 40 mph or so. In addition, northern Alabama will be on the right side of the northward-moving tropical storm system, and it is in this sector where isolated tornadoes often develop. Any rain that falls today and tonight can be on the heavy side with flash flooding on the table; especially, in convective rain bands.

Temperatures will soar to near 90 degrees later today and strong southerly winds will increase the risk of wildfire activity in this entrenched dry air mass. The wind will relax some on Friday and temperatures will drop to more seasonable levels with afternoon highs likely in the lower 80’s as we end the work week. The weekend is looking dry and moderately warm with plenty of sunshine expected on both days.

Hurricane Francine is closing in on the central Louisiana coastline as a strong category 1 storm and maximum sustained winds of around 90 mph. After landfall later today, Francine will slowly weaken as it pushes in a general northeasterly direction reaching southern Mississippi by early Thursday. From there, the remnants of Francine will become increasingly influenced by very strong high pressure ridging over southern Canada and its northward progression will grind to a halt over the western part of the Tennessee Valley. With the atmospheric blocking still in place later this weekend, new low pressure is likely to form somewhere near the Carolina coastline. This system will have plenty of available tropical moisture and its rain field could push slowly to the north early next week…potentially bringing some beneficial rains to the Mid-Atlantic region.

Strong high pressure will control the weather around here for the remainder of the week with each day featuring plenty of sunshine and comfortably warm conditions. Temperatures should peak this afternoon near 80 degrees and then likely in the low-to-mid 80’s for the latter part of the week and weekend. Elsewhere, on the tropical scene, Francine will approach the central coast of Louisiana later today as a strong “cat 1” hurricane or possibly even a “cat 2” system and it will push northward after landfall on Thursday over the southern Mississippi Valley. A strong blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere will likely result in a halt later in the week to the northward advance of Francine’s remnants and then there is a chance that low pressure forms near the east coast early next week.
