We’ll see our more typical September pattern on Wednesday, with an early east coast shower, sun and clouds, highs near 90 degrees, and spotty afternoon storms, especially in the far western suburbs of Miami-Dade and Broward, the interior, and the Gulf coast.

Faith Based Events

On Thursday and Friday, look for increased rain chances, especially in the Keys, as moisture from a tropical wave to our south streams in. Highs both days will be near 90 degrees.

at201609_5dayPost Tropical Cyclone Hermine remains a threat to coastal communities from Virginia to Massachusetts. At 5 am Monday, Hermine was located near 37.7 North, 68.3 West, and was crawling north at 3 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 70 miles per hour. Hermine will move slowly northward on Monday and Tuesday with top winds likely to be just under hurricane strength.

The Jersey shore will see coastal flooding, gusty winds, and beach erosion on Monday into Tuesday, and coastal Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware could see additional coastal flooding on Monday.

Hermine will bring tropical storm force winds, up to 4 feet of storm surge, and periods of heavy rain to Long Island and southeastern New England, including Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Block Island, on Labor Day into Wednesday. Hermine will finally pull away on Thursday and dissipate in the North Atlantic next weekend.
