Below Normal to Beautiful

The past two days have brought something that the Tri-State Area has not seen much of this summer, below Normal Temperatures. Our high on Sunday was 80 degrees, which was two degrees below the normal of 82. Yesterday we only made it to 70 degrees which was twelve degrees below normal. This will continue the next two days as a stubborn area of low pressure pushes moisture and cool air from the Atlantic Ocean on top of us.

Later in the week a front will move through the region and push our low pressure out of the area. This will also bring much drier air which will make for a good weekend forecast.

One other point, Hurricane Danielle is now packing winds of 100 mph which makes it a Category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. Right now it looks as if the storm will stay offshore as it moves into the North Atlantic. The only effect we will feel is strong rip currents on the Eastern Seaboard. So be careful when going to the beach this week.
