Showers preceded a cold front yesterday morning, I received .37″ of rain mostly coming from 6-7AM, the front was followed by much drier air, dew points dropped from the 70s to the 50s by evening… Today the dew points will even fall lower into the 40s with pleasant temperatures and a nice breeze.. Thursday will be a few degrees warmer and the humidity will stay on the low side. Now as we approach the weekend it will get hot and more humid, temperatures on Friday will be in the 90s and be near 90 on Saturday. Little cooler on Sunday and Monday, hopefully the moisture from Isaac stays to our west and we remain dry until Tuesday.

Hurricane Isaac is pounding the coast of Louisiana with hurricane wind gusts and torrential rain, the storm is only slowly moving northwestward and will be affecting this area most of the day..

The forecast: Today, sunny and pleasant, high near 80.

Tonight, clear and cool, low in the upper 50s.

Thursday, sunny, highs in the mid 80s.

Friday, sunny and hot and becoming a little more humid, high in the low 90s.

Saturday, mostly sunny, high near 90.

Sunday, mostly sunny, high in the low 80s.

Monday, partly cloudy, high in the low 80s.

Tuesday, mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, high in the low 80s.

Marine forecast: Today, north wind to 10 knots, seas 1-2 feet.
Outlook, below advisory level conditions except for near small craft advisory conditions on Friday into Saturday morning.

Have a pleasant Wednesday!

Yesterday we dodged most of the heavy rain as I only recorded .21″ of rain, many places just to the north, west and south recorded more than an inch of rain..

Today a cold front is moving through this morning with a band of showers that are moving east and most of the rain will be out of this area by 8am. Sunshine will return this afternoon and it will become much less humid but stay warm.. Wednesday will be a refreshingly pleasant day with plenty of sunshine and very low humidity. Warming trend Thursday and by Friday temperatures will be approaching 90. As we go into the Labor Day weekend it will start out quite warm, looks as if most of the remains of Isaac will stay to the west of us although there may be some showers on Monday.

Meanwhile Isaac is only now approaching hurricane force and will move ashore near the New Orleans area. Torrential rains and some wind gusts to hurricane force will be felt there but thankfully it will not be anything close to the terrible damage caused by Katrina 7 years ago.

The forecast: Today, showers ending followed by clearing, less humid, highs mid 80s.

Tonight: mostly clear and comfortable, low in the lower 60s.

Wednesday, sunny with low humidity, high near 80.

Thursday, Sunny, high in the mid 80s.

Friday, sunny, quite warm and a little more humid, high near 90.

Saturday, sunny, high near 90.

Sunday, partly sunny, high in the mid 80s.

Monday, partly sunny with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, high in the low 80s.

Marine Forecast: Today, southwest wind becoming northwest around 12 knots, seas 3 feet.
Outlook, sub-advisory level conditions through the weekend except for near advisory level seas well offshore on the weekend.

Have a great day!

Some showers this morning are weakening as they move into western sections of New Jersey, only a slight chance they will make it to our area.. Other scattered showers can occur this afternoon but we will also have partial sunshine so it may be an okay beach day. Showers are likely for tomorrow morning but skies should clear by the afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday look very pleasant with sunny skies and low humidity. Looks hot for Friday and Saturday.. Questions remain for Sunday and Monday as a cold front will be approaching that may have some of the moisture from them remains of Isaac.

Isaac this morning is only slowly intensifying as it heads towards the New Orleans area, right now it is supposed to come ashore in the Central Gulf as a strong category one hurricane but it is difficult to forecast intensity levels, that area doesn’t need another Katrina..

The forecast: Today, partly sunny with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, highs in the low 80s.

Tonight, mostly cloudy and humid with a chance of showers and thunderstorms, low around 70.

Tuesday, showers and thunderstorms likely in the morning then becoming mostly sunny, less humid, high in the upper 80s.
