Good Tuesday all-
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING is up for the shoreline east of New Haven
Well, that was interesting. The storm yesterday looked like it jogged to our east far enough to allow us to dodge the bullet but...a sudden blast westward last night caused us to get the forecasted weather for yesterday, today. That means 50mph+ gusts at the shoreline, as well as some coastal flooding. Inland will not be all that bad, although it could see some gusts. Some showers are also possible in the eastern portion of the state, but that is clearly not the most important part of the forecast today- some downed trees and power lines are possible, especially along the shoreline.
Although much of the same can be expected tomorrow, we then clear things out for Thursday and experience hot and humid weather for the end of the week- we may even touch 90, which is pretty impressive for September. A cold front will finally move through Sunday morning, killing the heat and humidity to the point that, by next Monday, we probably will not get to 80, slightly below average for this time of year.
There is some threat of development near the Cape Verde Islands by the end of the week, but it appears as though it would pose no threat to land as it harmlessly spins off into the hurricane graveyard of the North Atlantic. Some development is also possible of a wave as it approaches the Yucatan. The big story this morning though is Pacific Hurricane Newton, It has just made final landfall in the Baja as a very high end category one storm- it will likely make it all the way to Arizona as a legitimate fully-fledged tropical storm- a rare feat for the southwest! Additionally, there are two more areas with good chances of developing this week.
As an aside, we are now in serious danger of exhausting the name list in the Pacific basin. If the two systems become "O" and "P" There would only be 8 names left on the list with nearly three full months left in the season!
Today in weather history- Well, nothing of note has ever really happened on September 6, so...whatever happens today will be making history!
