Mainly cloudy weather will continue today though the sun may peek through a bit this afternoon. Friday will have more sunshine and temperatures reaching the 70s. A cold front will cause more clouds and a chance of showers from Saturday afternoon into Sunday. Meanwhile in case you haven’t heard there is a more likely chance of a devastating storm affecting our area early next week. Most of the computer models now have Sandy hitting the area anywhere from the Chesapeake Bay area into Southern New England, the only model that has the storm going further offshore before moving back and hitting Maine is the American model (GFS). This is a very serious situation, this storm has the potential to be stronger than Irene last year. Hurricane force winds, torrential rain and coastal flooding is becoming more likely. This situation will become more clear tomorrow as more data is fed into the computer models. The National Weather Service are launching balloons four times a day instead of twice across the country to get more measurements of the upper air conditions. It may be a good idea to start to think about preparing for this potential historic storm. The eye of Sandy (the hurricane’s not Duncan’s) is located just off the coast and Cuba and will affect the Bahamas today and tomorrow then move north… Stay tuned for further updates…

Clouds will prevail today and at times with drizzle as an onshore flow develops, it will be mild but not as mild as originally thought with highs mainly in the 60s. Still a lot of clouds around on Thursday though we may see a little sunshine. Friday and Saturday should be mainly sunny and milder. Chance of rain and cooler on Sunday..
Now about Sandy, the storm is now just south of Jamaica and will cross that island today and then Eastern Cuba tonight before moving into the Bahamas on Friday. After that the computer models are still far apart on how it will affect our area, for the sixth run in a row the European model (ECMWF) has the storm hitting the Asbury Park area with 150 mph winds very early Tuesday morning while the American model (GFS) has it go safely out to sea. This is a low confidence forecast for a possible high impact event, we should have a better handle on what will happen in a couple of days, stay tuned..
