Another Day of Sunshine With Some Haze
Onshore Winds But Dry Mid & Late Week
It is going to be a warm Tuesday but we are still dealing with haze from Canada wildfires. The good news from that respect is that the northwest flow in the upper atmosphere will be pulling northward back into Canada and that should cause the hazy conditions to lessen in the days ahead. We also have some moisture from the south that has crept northward producing some clouds. There is even some rain on the radars as far north as Maryland but that should decrease as the day wears on. Overall we will call it sunshine with haze today. Temperatures will warm to the mid and upper 80s which is right where we should be for this time of year.
SATELLITE WITH LIGHTNING STRIKES
WEATHER RADAR
Nothing much has changed regarding the outlook over the next several days. While one dry air mass passes east, another strong high will be building into Eastern Canada over the next several days. This high will suppress southern moisture as rain continues across much of the Carolinas south to Georgia and Alabama. With the high pressing southward, the rain struggles to head north.
The high to the north and the developing onshore flow normally would cause problems with moisture and low clouds coming in from the east, however this time the high is directly to the north rather than sitting out over Atlantic Canada. That makes the northeast flow drier so we remain optimistic for the remainder of the week. Skies should be mainly clear tonight with lows in the 60s to around 70 degrees.
Wednesday looks no worse than partly sunny. Temperatures will be lower with winds from the east. Afternoon highs will be in the 70s to near 80 degrees along the coast and low to middle 80s inland. Thursday skies should be again no worse than partly sunny. East winds again will mean temperatures in the 70s at the beaches and most inland highs will be in a range of 80 to 85. Humidity levels will still remain relatively reasonable.
Dew points will be coming up slightly as we head toward the end of the week and into the weekend but they will still be in the upper 50s and lower 60s which is not terrible. We expect to see some sunshine Friday. Low pressure is going to try and form off the Southeast US coast late in the week and this is something we need to monitor as that has a chance to sneak some rain northward over the weekend. For now however we will lean on the idea that the weekend will be no worse than partly sunny with highs in the 80s away from the beaches. We will leave any mention of rain out of the forecast for the time being.
