Beautiful day!

Comfortable levels of humidity out there today as dewpoints have dropped into the upper 50s to lower 60s on northeasterly winds. Very nice stuff! Enjoy....

We should stay dry with relatively lower levels of humidity tomorrow and Saturday before our next cold front slowly moves across the region Sunday through Tuesday. Those days look to feature scattered showers and storms.

Tropics...
I tell you...like I mentioned yesterday, the low off of the SC coast sure looks like a tropical depression. The National Hurricane Center makes those official determinations, and they have not declared it a TD. However, it is sure close to it. It is probably semantics anyway because upper level winds are becoming increasingly hostile over the system. Due to that, significant development is unlikely.

For two runs in a row now the GFS develops a tropical system in the Atlantic and tracks it toward the US east coast during the first couple of days of September. In fact, check this out from the 6z run today...this is valid 2am September 1...


Now, this is out in la-la land for the computer models, so specifics are not to be looked at. However, I think this is indicative that by the beginning of September we will be entering a more active time in the tropics. Stay tuned...
