Our area has cloudy skies early on this Tuesday morning and temperatures range from the low 60s in the Clifton area down to the mid 50s further inland, there is a northeast breeze.

A storm off the Carolina coast that may become tropical will move up the coast and then out to sea on Wednesday, rain from this system should move into the area tonight with coastal areas getting higher amounts while inland little or no rain is expected.  It will be unseasonably cool with most high temperatures in the upper 60s, there also will be a brisk onshore wind.

As the storm moves away we should see plenty of sunshine on Wednesday with milder temperatures.

Warmer on Thursday ahead of a cold front that will cross the area in the afternoon, only a slight chance of a shower is anticipated with the front.

Quite cool but dry on Friday.

After a very cool start with morning lows in the 40s on Saturday we then will become milder in the afternoon, however a frontal system may give us some rain Saturday night into Sunday.

MONDAY  AUGUST 28,  2017  5:56 A.M.

Skies are partly cloudy early on this Monday morning and temperatures range from around 60 in the Clifton area to some upper 40s further inland winds are light.

High pressure moving off the New England coast will give us another dry day and it will be cool once again, we should see some increasing high cloudiness by evening.

It now appears that the coastal or tropical low pressure will become close enough to cause some light showers on Tuesday especially along coastal sections, it will be quite cool with a rather brisk onshore wind.

We dry out on Wednesday and it will not be as cool as on Tuesday.

Thursday looks at this time to be warm, but a cold front may touch off a shower.  Cool weather once again on Friday with mostly fair skies.

The Labor Day weekend looks to be mainly dry with a warming trend, Saturday will start off cool but temperatures should reach the 80s both on Sunday and again on Labor Day.

Skies are mostly clear early on this Sunday morning with cool temperatures once again ranging from the upper 50s in the Clifton area down to the upper 40s further inland, winds are light.

Today should be a carbon copy of yesterday’s weather with plenty of sunshine, cool temperatures and low humidity as high pressure extends to our area from Eastern Canada.

The high pressure will move off the New England coast with a more onshore flow of cool and dry air for Monday and Tuesday.  A low pressure should stay far enough to our south and east so we should stay rain free.

A little milder Wednesday and especially on Thursday.

A cold front will cross the area Thursday night with only a slight chance of a shower.  High pressure builds again builds in for Friday with cooler conditions.

The Labor Day weekend still looks to be dry with a slight warming trend.

Skies are mostly clear early on this Saturday morning and again it is cool with temperatures ranging from the upper 50s in the Clifton area down to the upper 40s well inland, winds are light.

High pressure will be in control of our weather this weekend giving the area mostly sunny days and mostly clear and cool nights, humidity will continue to be comfortable.

The high pressure will move off the New England coast on Monday with an onshore flow keeping temperatures cool.

We should stay dry Tuesday through the end of the week, the low pressure system we mentioned yesterday now appears will stay well offshore not to affect our area.  It will be still cool on Tuesday but slightly warmer and more humid Wednesday and Thursday.   A cold front will come through dry Thursday night followed by fair and cooler weather for Friday.

Looking ahead to the Labor Day weekend it now looks like it will still be dry with seasonably warm temperatures.

TROPICS:   Hurricane Harvey came onshore along the Texas coast last night as a category 4, which is the strongest hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland since 2004.  Harvey is expected to move very slowly and will dump copious amount of rain through at least the early part of next week.

 

Have a nice weekend!

Dry and comfortably cool weather to continue into next week!


FRIDAY   AUGUST 25, 2017  5:52 A.M.

Our area has partly cloudy skies early on this Friday morning and it is rather cool with temperatures ranging from around 60 in the Clifton area down to around 50 further inland, winds are light.

High pressure building toward our area from central Canada will provide us with dry conditions today, there should be more cloudiness than yesterday especially in the afternoon, temperatures will be seasonably cool.

Dry weather will continue through the weekend with continued seasonably cool weather with low humidity, skies should be mostly sunny both days.

Most of next week looks to be continued dry,  however there will be a possible tropical low that will be moving up the coast around Wednesday.  Most models have the system too far to our east to give us any problems, the Canadian computer model has the system coming closer to the coast, so this situation will have to be watched.

 

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – AUG 25 – Partly sunny, high near 80.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear, low in the upper 50s.

SATURDAY – AUG 26 – Sunny, high in the upper 70s.

MARINE FORECAST:  TODAY – Northerly winds to 9 knots, seas 2 feet.  Belmar’s ocean temperature is 74 degrees.

OUTLOOK – No advisories expected on Saturday; possible small craft conditions Sunday through Tuesday.

 

THE TROPICS:   Dangerous hurricane Harvey is expected to come onshore along the middle Texas coast tonight as a major hurricane, this system will be very slow to move so there will be extremely heavy rain, damaging winds along with a high storm surge. Harvey may be the first major hurricane to strike the United States since 2005.

 

Have a nice day!

Beautiful late summer weather for the next several days!

Skies are partly cloudy early on this Tuesday morning and it is warm and muggy, temperatures ranging from the low 70s in the Clifton area to the mid 60s further inland, winds are light.

Today will be quite hot and humid as high pressure moves off the coast and a cold front approaches from the west.  We should have partly to mostly sunny skies and temperatures will soar into the 90s and with dew points in the 70s will push heat indexes to over 100 degrees. A heat advisory is in effect for the region.

Showers and thunderstorms are likely from tonight into early Wednesday morning as the cold front swings through the area.  By Wednesday afternoon we should have mostly sunny skies but noticeably less humid as dew points drop to the 50s.

Fantastic weather from Thursday through the weekend as a strong high pressure builds from the upper midwest.  Temperatures will be below normal and the humidity will be quite low, each day will be dry with plenty of sunshine.

Looking further ahead, there is no signs of any heat for at least the next two weeks so it is possible that today may be the last 90 degree day of the summer.
