August is set to begin with drenching rain and thunderstorms through the
Atlantic Seaboard courtesy of the same system responsible for
the heavy rains and floods seen through parts of Colorado and New Mexico during
the past few days.
The rain is expected to begin Friday and extend from
Louisiana into northern Florida before heading northeast into New England as
the weekend progresses. Another thing that will be enhancing how strong these
rainfalls can become is moisture that is moving in from both the Gulf and the
Atlantic Ocean that once it comes in contact with this system can lead to urban
flooding and poor visibility increasing the possibility of travel delays
through the eastern seaboard.
As the rainy pattern subsides, a warming trend will ensue
along bringing an increase in humidity for next week.
Tropics:
The National Hurricane Center continues to investigate a low
pressure system located hundreds of miles east of the Leeward Islands as it
continues to move west-northwest at nearly 20 mph. The redevelopment of showers
and thunderstorms is expected through the day Friday leading to the possible formation
of a tropical cyclone which may require watches and warning to be put in effect
for the Lesser Antilles.
Enjoy your evening,
Jen Gonzalez
