TROPICAL SYSTEMS NOW HAVE THEIR OWN WEB PAGE— Henri.
Hurricane Henri Forecast Updated Sat 5:11 PM here
Saturday Forecast Updated Sat 10:39 AM highlighted below
Sunday Forecast Updated Sat 6:10 PM highlighted below
The coming weekend’s weather will be influenced by an upper air low pressure system, the residual tropical moisture in place and the moisture and eventual track of tropical storm (hurricane) Henri.
The Weekend Forecast
The weather this weekend is dependent upon the track of Henri. Even without Henri in the picture, the tropical moisture in place with the upper level low would give us a good chance of clouds, showers and thunderstorms. The weather with upper level closed lows are notorious for being difficult to forecast.
Saturday
A mix of clouds and sunshine in the morning. Showers and thunderstorms develop as early as 2-3 PM. The showers on Saturday are looking very scattered. Large model differences in location. Localized rainfall may be heavy. High temp 84.9º ± 2.1º NBM model, Blue Bell.
Sunday
Cloudy with showers/rain. Gusty winds likely. The amount of rain and wind will depend upon the track of Henri. Potential for heavy rain at the shore. High temp 83.6º ± 2.3º The NBM cranks out several inches of rain for our area. The GFS less than 1″ Will need to update later this evening.
High temp 79.4º ± 3.1º NBM model, Blue Bell.
I will be updating the forecast over the weekend. Check back for updates.
