The Atlantic Basin is quite active with three tropical systems of note as we head towards the end of September. There is a newly named Tropical Storm Humberto situated to the northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands, a likely-to-be named Imelda which is now located near the Dominican Republic, and a weakening Hurricane Gabrielle in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean. It is the likely-to-be named Imelda that may be of most concern at this point as it could threaten the Bahamas this weekend and potentially has a chance of impacting the Southeast US.

A warming trend to near the 80-degree mark later today and then into the middle 80’s on Friday as we close the work week. The weather this weekend and early next week should feature plenty of sunshine on a daily basis with high temperatures close to the 80-degree mark.

The weather remains quite unsettled today with the threat of showers and thunderstorms as an upper-level trough drops into the Great Lakes. After a possible lingering shower on Friday, the overall weather pattern will become more settled by the weekend with sunshine prevailing on both Saturday and Sunday and temperatures climbing into the low-to-mid 80’s for afternoon highs.

Low pressure has developed in the Ohio Valley and it will push northeastward to New England during the next 24 hours or so riding along a stalled-out frontal boundary zone. The combination of the low pressure system and front will bring numerous showers and thunderstorms to the Mid-Atlantic region through tonight…some of the rain will be heavy and some of the storms can be strong-to-severe. The weather remains somewhat unsettled for Friday and the upcoming weekend with the chance of a couple of showers on each day.

The Atlantic Basin is quite active as we head towards the end of September with three tropical systems currently on the playing field including a “major” Hurricane Gabrielle which is now racing off to the east-northeast and is no threat to the US. In fact, Hurricane Gabrielle could impact the Azores Islands and Portugal down the road in a weakened state after crossing over the cooler waters of the North Atlantic.
Meanwhile, the other two tropical systems pose more of a challenge in terms of forecasting their eventual paths and magnitudes. It appears quite likely that both systems will reach named tropical storm classification and potentially, both may climb to hurricane status. It also appears quite likely that these two systems will end up doing some sort of a dance around each other for awhile (“Fujiwhara effect”) and at least one may come uncomfortably close to the US east coast and we may not know the end of the story until we get ten or so days out from now.

The weather remains quite unsettled today with the threat of PM showers and thunderstorms as an upper-level trough drops into the Great Lakes. More settled weather pattern evolves for the late week and weekend with sunshine prevailing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and temperatures climbing well up into the 80’s each day.

A cold frontal system will inch its way across the region today and stall out just to our south before pushing back to the north later tomorrow as a warm front. Low pressure will develop in the Ohio Valley on Thursday and push towards the northeastern states riding along the frontal boundary zone. Another cold front slides through at week’s end to be followed by high pressure which will gradually build back into the region during the upcoming weekend.
As a result of this combination of fronts and low pressure systems, more rain is coming to the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and this looks like a soaking rain event with an inch or more on the table. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely later today and then numerous showers and thunderstorms are on the way for later tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night. There can be a few lingering showers on Friday and Saturday with plenty of clouds around and it should be generally dry on Sunday and Monday (one caveat on the expected generally dry conditions on Sunday and Monday…we will need to keep our eyes on a couple of tropical systems that should be over the western Atlantic this weekend).
