9/2/2013 Daily Update: Labor Day Showers and Storms Lingering into Tuesday, Japan Tornado, Tropical Storm Toraji

Good morning everyone and Happy Labor Day!

First of all, indications are the front may stall into Tuesday meaning storm threats for the next 2 days. So I lied when yesterday, I said unsettled weather ends starting Tuesday. Sorry. Today is going to be pretty much a repeat of the last two storms - humid and scattered thunderstorms.

LABOR DAY: Scattered showers and thunderstorms under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Very humid. Highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Winds from the S at 5 to 10 mph.

TONIGHT: Threats of showers and thunderstorms continuing into the overnight hours. Lows in the mid 60s. Light winds.

TOMORROW: Showers and storms possible with partly to mostly cloudy conditions. Humid. Highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Winds from the W at 5 to 10 mph.

Rain should subside by Wednesday finally...


ATLANTIC TROPICS

  • Satellite imagery of Invest 97L appears to have disorganized from the elongated structure yesterday as it heads toward the Lesser Antilles bringing strong winds and heavy rain. It still  needs to be watched even though most models don't do anything with it. NHC gives it a 20% chance of developing in the next 48 hours.
