WEAK STEERING WINDS MAKE FOR A DIFFICULT FORECAST FOR FAY’S REMNANTS… THE TROPICS DO SHOW SOME POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT BUT NONE OF THE MODELS ARE JUMPING ON ANYTHING JUST YET
In my opinion, the overall weather pattern across the eastern half of the nation seems quite bizarre. Weak steering currents are just making for a very difficult forecast for tracking Fay’s remnants. Although forecasters are saying that there is still a chance that Fay’s moisture will be dragged up here by a trough later in the week, I have my doubts. We’ll just have to wait and see. Meanwhile, a weak cool front may bring a shower or thunderstorm on Monday. On Tuesday, we return to a north to northeasterly flow again behind that front as another high moves through New England and off the coast. After that we’ll have to see if Fay’s moisture can make it up this way or will it pass by to our west? Please continue to watch the tropics for future development. We are reaching peak season for tropical cyclone development.
** In the event of severe weather in you area, please consult the official National Weather Service forecast office for any severe weather watches or warnings in your area at Weather.gov.
