...Heavy rain and wind expected for Florida and the Southeast Coast...
...Cooler and drier conditions arriving behind cold front...
The big story making weather headlines through the end of the week will be
the tropics and the track of what is now tropical depression #9. This
system is forecast to intensify into a tropical storm (Hermine is the next
name on the list) soon and head towards northern Florida and then parallel
the Southeast Coast before eventually heading out to sea. Several inches
of rainfall is likely along and just south of the storm track, and strong
gusty winds will also be problematic near the coast. The rain may be
heavy enough to cause flooding issues, especially over parts of Florida
and Georgia.
Farther to the northwest, a cold front will be ushering in a quality
airmass that will bring more pleasant temperatures and lower humidity from
the Midwest states to the Mid-Atlantic region. This front should reach
the East Coast around Thursday morning, and this will help steer the
tropical storm in a northeast direction and out to the Atlantic Ocean.
This front is expected to stall before reaching the Deep South, where
late-summer heat and humidity will continue.
Across the western U.S., another frontal boundary will slowly make its way
across the Great Basin and northern Rockies. This front is in response to
an upper level trough over the northwestern U.S. Scattered showers and
storms are likely to develop each afternoon across the central and
southern Rockies with monsoonal moisture still in place. Showers are also
expected across western Washington and Oregon owing to onshore flow.
