Today we should see plenty of sunshine with cool temperatures, winds will be gusty out of the north-northeast due to a tight pressure gradient between high pressure building from Canada and the remains of Matthew which is moving up off the Canadian Maritime area.

Winds will diminish this evening and with clear skies and light winds will cause frost to develop mainly over inland areas.

TROPICS:   Dangerous hurricane Matthew has intensified just south of Nassau in  the Bahamas with top winds up to 125 mph, Matthew is expected to  intensify further as it moves through the northwestern Bahamas and then toward the Florida’s east coast by tonight, the storm is then expected to parallel the east coast of Florida reaching the South Carolina coast by Saturday night and then move further offshore.  A hurricane of this magnitude has never affected the entire east coast of Florida in recorded history.  It is very difficult to forecast if and where the eye of the storm will be parallel to the coast, a track offshore will lessen the impacts but if the eye moves just inland it will cause major destruction to those areas.

Have a safe day!

Skies are mostly clear early on this Wednesday morning and temperatures range from the low 50s in the Clifton area to the upper 40s further inland, winds are light. This is my last day in Barbados and it is also mostly clear with the temperature around a warm 80 degrees.

High pressure will build into the Clifton area today providing very pleasant fall conditions through Friday with mostly sunny skies and mild temperatures.

Hurricane Matthew is now expected to stay well south of our area so the weekend weather looks to be much better than it was indicated yesterday. A weak trough is expected to only give us a low chance of showers Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning.

High pressure will then build into the area for early next week providing our area with mostly fair conditions with seasonably cool temperatures.

Skies are cloudy early on this Tuesday morning and temperatures range from around 60 in the Clifton area to the low 50s further inland, there are some showers in parts of the region and winds are light easterly.

After some possible early showers we should see partial clearing in the afternoon temperatures should be a little cooler than on Monday.

High pressure then will be in control of our weather Wednesday through Friday with plenty of sunshine each day with mild temperatures.

Our weekend weather will depend on the future track of Hurricane Matthew, most of the computer models have the storm just off our coast which would give our area torrential rain mainly falling from late Saturday into Sunday morning along with gusty winds while the European model has the storm well to our east which would minimize the affect in our area.

After the storm passes we should have clearing skies with cool temperatures early next week.

TODAY – Cloudy with a chance of a morning shower then partial clearing this afternoon, high in the upper 60s.

TONIGHT – Partly cloudy, low around 50.

MARINE FORECAST –  Small craft advisories will be in effect from 8 a.m. today through 6 p.m. on Wednesday for  northeast winds gusting to 25 knots, seas 5-8 feet.

OUTLOOK – Small craft advisories likely through Friday, conditions may worsen on Saturday due to the approach of Hurricane Matthew.

TROPICS – Dangerous Hurricane Matthew is now approaching the Haitian coast giving that area devastating rains, Matthew is then expected to cross the tip of eastern Cuba then move into the Bahamas.  The track of the storm will then take it just off the Florida coast and up along the southeast coast to just off the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After that the models are not in agreement on our close it will come to the northeast coast.

Have a good day!

Skies are once again cloudy early on this Monday morning and temperatures range from about 60 in the Clifton area to the mid 50s further inland winds are calm.

TROPICS – Dangerous Hurricane Matthew is expected to move into the Jamaica, Haiti and Eastern Cuba area and give that area torrential flooding rains along with strong damaging winds, the storm will then reach the Bahamas on Tuesday or Wednesday, after that the track becomes more uncertain as the American model shows the storm moving up the East coast while the European has the hurricane moving well out to sea after brushing the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Have a good day!

Have a good day!
