Weekend Forecast 10/24-10/25 2009

For the weekend:
Hi: 72 F(Sat.)
Lo: 50 F(Sat.)
Chance of rain: 100 %

Hi: 65 F(Sun.)
Lo: 43 F(Sun.)

A few thundershowers or an isolated thunderstorm may occur. Lifting mechanism in the approaching cold front is weak, and due to cloud cover instability will be limited. Should not see a severe weather outbreak. Temperatures will certainly be warm enough for a rumble of thunder during some heavier downpours. Gulf moisture being tapped into the approaching storm system that will zip into NY tomorrow morning. Our chances of rain will increase starting Friday evening and the heaviest rain should taper off by Saturday evening. After the cold front passes our area, sunshine returns to our area on Sunday as high pressure builds in briefly for the start of next week. This area of high pressure will slide offshore by Tuesday.

NEED TO WATCH FOR ANY TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATED NEAR THE AREAS OF THE CARRIBBEAN AND BAHAMAS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY DEVELOP INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AND HEAD FOR THE CAROLINAS WHICH COULD BRING OUR AREA SOME SHOWERS BY MIDWEEK NEXT WEEK.
