A cold front passed through the region last night, but will linger off the coast for awhile and create some unsettled conditions across the Mid-Atlantic for the next few days. As a result, clouds will be rather plentiful on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and a few showers cannot be ruled out on each day. Strong high pressure will build into southeastern Canada early next week and we’ll have to monitor the movement of tropical systems over the western Atlantic for potential impact along the east coast.

The weather to close out the week and for the next several days should feature plenty of sunshine on a daily basis with high temperatures not far from the 80-degree mark. There will be a weak disturbance nearby early next week, but any precipitation associated with it is likely to be confined to the mountainous areas west of here.

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.

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.
