After a couple of days with rain, the weekend is set to end
on a chilly note for the Northeast as the thermometer heads south into the 50s
with some locations dipping into the 30s.
This autumn like chill is being caused by a cold front
making its way east bringing with it a blast of cold air from the Arctic.
Despite being a couple of weeks shy from officially ending summer, this arctic
blast has already dumped up to 8 inches of snow in some locations of Montana,
Wyoming and South Dakota breaking previous early season snow records through
those locations.
The blast of cooler air is expected to last through the
beginning of the week bringing with it sunny skies and the possibility of frost
through Monday. As the week progresses, temperatures will begin to slowly rebound
reaching the 70s by the start of next weekend.
Tropics:
As predicted yesterday, out in the central Atlantic, Tropical
Storm Edouard has intensified and taken shape and is expected to continue to
intensify this weekend as it moves into a more favorable environment becoming
the next hurricane of the season. Currently moving NW at 13 mph, Edouard is
located over 1200 miles east of the Leeward Islands with sustained winds of 45
mph. No watches or warnings are in effect, however, those living or traveling
to Bermuda or the Azores should closely monitor this system during the next several
days.
Enjoy your weekend!
