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.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – AUG 28 – Mostly sunny, high in the mid 70s.

TONIGHT – Mostly cloudy, low around 60.

TUESDAY – AUG 29 – Mostly cloudy with a chance of a shower mainly after 2 p.m., high only around 70.

MARINE FORECAST:  Small craft advisory in effect until 6 a.m. on Wednesday for easterly winds gusting to 25 knots, seas building to 8-12 feet. Belmar’s ocean temperature is 73 degrees.  There is a high risk of rip currents today.

OUTLOOK – Small craft advisories likely to continue on Wednesday; no advisories expected Thursday and Friday.

TROPICS:  Harvey continues to dump historic amounts of rain in the Houston area but today the heavy rain may shift slightly more easterly across the Texas upper coast and southeast Louisiana.

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.

Enjoy this nice weather today!

SATURDAY  AUGUST 26, 2017  5:42 A.M.

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.

THE FORECAST:

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

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

SUNDAY – AUG 27 – Sunny, high in the upper 70s.

MARINE FORECAST:  TODAY – North-northeast wind to 8 knots, seas 1 foot.  Belmar’s ocean temperature is 74 degrees.

OUTLOOK – Small craft conditions likely Sunday through Wednesday.

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!

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.

SUNDAY – AUG 27 – Sunny, high in the upper 70s.

MONDAY – AUG 28 – Mostly sunny, high in the mid 70s.

TUESDAY – AUG 29 – Partly sunny, high in the mid 70s.

WEDNESDAY – AUG 30 – Partly sunny, high in the upper 70s.

THURSDAY – AUG 31 – Mostly sunny, high in the low 80s.

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!
