Moisture from this storm at this point should not reach our area but that is a long way off..

Tranquil weather continues over our area, Isaac moving into the eastern Caribbean!


My forecast for yesterday was good for my backyard but just a couple of miles to our south a drenching thunderstorm caused flash floods in the afternoon in the Nutley, Bloomfield and Lyndhurst area.
The forecast for our area remains mainly dry and warm the next few days although there is a slight chance of showers on Saturday afternoon and again on Tuesday.
Meanwhile Tropical Storm Isaac is moving through the eastern Caribbean, the forecast is for the storm to move to the north coast of Cuba on Sunday and then just off the southwest coast of Florida (near Naples) on Monday and then hitting the Panama City, Florida area on Tuesday. Questions still remain on how strong the storm will be especially after it interacts with the mountains of Hispaniola and Cuba… Still a few days to watch this storm and the forecast probably will change..

Quiet weather continues, tracking Isaac in the tropics!


Basically it is what you see is what you get weather wise the next several days with no rain in the forecast through the early part of next week, temperatures will be a couple of degrees above normal and humidity will be moderate. Meanwhile Tropical Storm Isaac is approaching the Leeward Islands, top winds are at 45mph and are expected to increase. A hurricane watch is in effect for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Long range computer forecasts take the storm to the north shore of Cuba on Sunday and then approaching the Florida Keys. A lot of questions remain on how strong the storm will be especially if the track goes near the mountains of Hispaniola and Cuba. The storm does have potential of becoming a strong hurricane so stay tuned for further updates.

Boring (nice) weather continues, tropics heating up!


No rain fell in my backyard but some heavy showers did occur north and west of here, over those areas it was a bad evening to be out on a motorcycle.

Warm and dry weather should continue into the weekend. I am now tracking a new tropical depression that will more than likely become Isaac, some computer models have the storm move through the Caribbean and then up towards the Florida’s east coast, plenty of time to keep an eye on Isaac..
