A landfall from major Hurricane Irma on the United States is now looking increasingly likely…
First though, Happy Labor Day!
Today will be nice with highs in the mid 70’s to mid 80’s.
Tomorrow we will have increasing cloudiness in the morning with a chance of showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening as moisture from the Gulf of Mexico streams into our area ahead of an approaching cold front. Highs will range from the upper 60’s to mid 70’s in Northeastern PA to the mid to upper 80’s in Central and Northeastern NJ.
Wednesday will be cloudy with a chance of showers or thunderstorms, possibly heavy at times, as moisture from the Gulf of Mexico continues to stream into our area ahead of an approaching cold front. Some flooding is possible with rainfall amounts of 1-3 inches likely. Highs will be in the mid 60’s to mid 70’s.
Thursday will be variably cloudy with a chance of a shower or thunderstorm in the morning as the cold front finally passes through our area. Highs will be in the mid 60’s to mid 70’s.
Friday will be variably cloudy with a chance of an afternoon or evening shower or thunderstorm as a weak disturbance passes through our area. Highs will be in the mid 60’s to mid 70’s.
This coming weekend Hurricane Irma will be passing just north of Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and Cuba, possibly even brushing the north shore of Cuba. After passing south of Grand Bahama Island and approaching the Florida Keys, Irma will turn abruptly north, heading towards a possible landfall near Miami, Florida, Sunday afternoon or night, likely as a category 3 storm, with wind gusts of up to 140 mph possible. Irma will then continue heading north, making a second landfall likely between Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Wilmington, NC late Monday night or Tuesday morning as a category 1 or 2 storm. Rainfall amounts in Southeastern Florida and parts of the Coastal Carolinas could be 10-20 inches.

In our area, Saturday through Monday look nice with highs in the mid 60’s to mid 70’s Saturday, the mid 60’s to low 70’s Sunday, and the low to mid 70’s next Monday.
Next Tuesday we will have increasing cloudiness as Hurricane Irma approaches our area. Highs will be in the upper 60’s to mid 70’s.
Next Wednesday and Thursday we will have a chance of showers or thunderstorms, possibly heavy at times. Gusty winds will also be possible as Hurricane Irma or the remnants of Hurricane Irma pass through our area. Highs will be in the mid 60’s to mid 70’s next Wednesday and the low to mid 70’s next Thursday.
Next Friday and Saturday are looking variably cloudy with a chance of a shower or thunderstorm as the remnants of Irma slowly depart our area. Highs will be in the 70’s.
Next Sunday then looks nice with highs in the 70’s.
Have a fantastic day!
