HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE-
But oh boy, are we in for a nasty shock this weekend. After a very pleasant and warm day today...we are going to have a cold front introduce some major changes to our forecast. Some showers and thunderstorms are possible overnight tonight but...they won't be too much of a problem. The issue is that this will send temps down some 15 to 20 degrees. Highs tomorrow will be near 70- and that appears to be the warmest day of the next 4. Otherwise, highs will be in the mid to upper 60s...and potentially even the low 60s on Sunday. In fact it would not surprise me to see some towns in the higher elevations get stuck in the 50s on that day! Also, gardeners should note that we will be very close to a frost on Sunday night into Monday, with lows forecast to be in the mid to upper 30s at the moment. That would be unusually early to have a first frost, but it can happen! Although some warming looks likely next week, there are no 75 degree days in sight in the next seven
The Atlantic still features Karl, which has re intensified into a tropical storm and is now nearing hurricane intensity this morning, and Lisa, which harmlessly spins in the east Atlantic. I am most concerned for now about a tropical wave just now moving off Africa and, although it won't develop quickly, it probably will do so when it gets into the Caribbean. The next name on the Atlantic list is Matthew.
The Pacific is in the same position as it was yesterday morning.
Today in weather history- September 23, 1904- Charlotteburg, NJ manages to plunge all the way to 23 degrees, the all time September record low for the state. Although such an event would be extremely rare...there is a path to doing this, primarily involving low winds and a very strong high to our northwest.
