A landfall by major Hurricane Irma on Florida is looking increasingly likely…
First though, clouds will increase tomorrow morning, with a chance for showers and thunderstorms developing tomorrow afternoon and evening and continuing into early Thursday as moisture streams into our area ahead of an approaching cold front. Highs will range from the mid to upper 70’s in Northeastern PA to the mid to upper 80’s in Central and Northeastern NJ tomorrow, the mid 60’s to low 70’s Wednesday, and the mid 60’s to mid 70’s Thursday.
Friday will then be variably cloudy with a chance of a shower or thunderstorm as a weak disturbance passes through our area. Highs will be in the 60’s to low 70’s.
Next Saturday Major Hurricane Irma will be heading west just north of Cuba. Irma will then abruptly turn north. It is still a bit uncertain as to exactly when Irma will turn north. The best guess right now, based on the most current information, is that Irma will start to turn north near or just slightly after the Florida Keys. This would mean direct landfall by major Hurricane Irma on South Florida. Whether Irma makes direct landfall on the East Coast or West Coast of Florida is still uncertain. Hurricane Irma is likely to be a category 3 or 4 storm at that time, so this storm is likely to do some damage wherever she makes landfall.

In our area, Saturday through next Tuesday look nice with highs in the 60’s Saturday, the mid 60’s to low 70’s Sunday, the low to mid 70’s next Monday, and the 70’s next Tuesday.
Next Wednesday through Saturday then look cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, possibly heavy at times, as the remnants of Irma very slowly pass through our area. Highs will be in the 60’s to low 70’s next Wednesday, the low to mid 70’s next Thursday and Friday, and the upper 60’s to low 70’s next Saturday.
Next Sunday then looks nice with highs in the upper 60’s to mid 70’s.
Have a wonderful evening!
