The rest of the work week will be seasonably warm as high pressure remains in firm control of our weather. We’ll start Wednesday noticeably warmer than Tuesday with lows in the upper 50s as opposed to the upper 40s. From there, temperatures will warm to near 80° under partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. We start Thursday even warmer, with low 60s forecast — several degrees above normal for this point in the year. Temperatures top out around 80° with a mix of sun and clouds. As for Friday, copy and paste — pretty much the same story as Thursday. We keep warmth heading into the weekend and to start next week, though we should see a cooldown in time for Halloween.

High tides on Wednesday will get close to coastal flood criteria and could yet require a Coastal Flood Advisory or two if the departures tick up just a little more. We’ll flirt with minor coastal flood criteria at times of high tide into the weekend, so keep an ear out for possible Coastal Flood Advisories from the National Weather Service.

Tropics: Tammy to weaken and slow down around Bermuda

Tammy continues to move northeast as a hurricane as of this writing. This motion should continue into Wednesday before a ridge to the north turns Tammy back toward the west. Meanwhile, shear will increase, and Tammy will lose tropical characteristics by Thursday afternoon. From there, it will meander westward, weakening in the process, but still bringing some stormy weather to Bermuda. Guidance continues to produce a wide range of track solutions, but ultimately Tammy should turn away before it becomes more of a concern for the East Coast.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic, there are no concerns; Tropical Depression Twenty-One, as expected, made landfall in Nicaragua this morning and promptly dissipated. There are otherwise no areas of interest for tropical development.
