Extreme Weather for August 25

Good evening,

It will begin to feel less like summer and more like fall for the Great Lakes and Northeast as cooler air descends from Canada this week.

The sweltering upper 80s and lower 90s will begin to disappear as temperatures drop anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees below their average this time of the year with cities from Omaha into Pittsburgh welcoming digits from the upper 60s to the mid 70s along with lower humidity through midweek. Cooler weather, especially during the evening hours, will also be present from DC into Boston with temperatures falling low enough to force people to bring out long sleeve apparel.

As we enter the month of September the cooler air will retreat and a warming trend will ensue as a high pressure system is expected to strengthen and become stationary the jet stream moves further north. Seasonable temperatures are expected to make a comeback from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic and last into the first week in September.

The National Hurricane Center has stopped emitting advisories on what was once Hurricane Danny as it has lost considerable strength becoming a remnant low that is expected to bring much needed rain through many of the Caribbean Islands. However, on the heels of this storm, is what may become the next tropical system. Erika, which can possibly develop by the middle of the week at latest, is still far out over the open waters of the Atlantic but may encounter weak wind shear and enough warm water to develop and reach the Leeward Islands by the second half of the work week.

With the peak of hurricane season approaching, please continue to check back with us as we will keep you posted on all the latest happening in the tropics.

Enjoy your evening,

Jen Gonzalez
