Quiet weather continues....Powerful Igor in the Atlantic

Our quiet stretch of weather continues today, and there will not be a great deal of day to day weather changes over the next week or so.

Today will feature lots of sunshine with highs in the upper 80s to near 90. Again today, humidity levels will remain quite low. Lows tonight will drop into the mid to upper 50s.

Highs will top out in the lower 90s in most places tomorrow with upper 80s to lower 90s Thursday. A fairly potent storm system will scoot by to our north Thursday night into Friday morning, but I only anticipate a brief increase in clouds with the system.

Highs Friday into the weekend will be in the mid to upper 80s with lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

We look to remain warm and dry for the first few days of next work week with highs up into the lower 90s in many spots.

Tropics...

Igor remains a powerful Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 135mph. Igor has been stubborn with showing any northward component of motion, but there are signs that a gradual bend to the WNW has begun. All indications remain that Igor will stay well east of the US mainland, but a pass fairly close to Bermuda still looks quite possible. Igor will fluctuate in intensity but should remain a powerful hurricane.

Hurricane Julia is way out on the other side of the Atlantic. It still appears Julia will head northwest into the open Atlantic waters.

And, our disturbance in the Caribbean Sea is not any better organized this morning. There remains at least some chance of this becoming a classified system as it heads toward the Yucatan, the southern Gulf, and then likely Mexico.
