8/28/2013 Daily Update: Partly Sunny, Scattered Storms Today, Tropical Storm Kong-rey

Good morning everyone!

Let's dive into the forecast, shall we...

TODAY: Partly sunny with scattered storms in the afternoon. Humid too. Highs in the lower to mid 80s. Winds from the SE at 5 mph.

TONIGHT: Chance of a pop-up shower or storm, otherwise mostly cloudy. Lows dropping in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Generally calm winds.

TOMORROW: Partly sunny with a small chance of an afternoon shower or storm again. Highs will be in the lower 80s. Winds from the NW at 5 mph.

Looking pretty nice for the Labor Day weekend, although can't rule out a spot shower late Sunday where things start to turn unsettled around here next week.


ATLANTIC TROPICS

  • Interesting feature in South Florida with an upper-level low spinning off the coast as evident on the visible below.
  • The tropical wave in the Central Atlantic is moving west and there remains a small chance for development.
  • Another one moving out of Africa could start to develop once it's over water. It's expected to move over the Cape Verde islands and a high chance of it moving out to sea thereafter.

NATIONAL WEATHER

  • Scattered storm threats continue for the Northeast
  • Dry and warm for the Southeast with the exception of Southern Florida where they are dealing with storms associated with the upper-level low spinning near the coast
  • Big high pressure and hot weather persists over the Midwest and the South
  • Some heavy rain possible for the Southeast dealing with the after-effects of Ivo
  • Dry and sunny along the West Coast

WORLD WEATHER

  • Tropical Kong-rey is taking a close swipe at Taiwan and could impact Japan by the weekend.
  • Storms continue for central Europe with the low pressure convergence over there.
  • Australia's weather has seen almost no difference in the last two weeks with the high pressure to the north bringing fair weather while fronts cross the south bringing chances of showers and storms.

EARTHQUAKES


SPACE WEATHER

  • The Kp index did rise to 5 due to a coronal hole stream facing Earth.
  • A CME was visible this morning but was not toward Earth.
  • Solar activity is low with M-class flare chances down to 1%.
