Alan's Weather - 08/02/11

It got even warmer than expected yesterday; 98 in Trenton and Newark, 95 in Atlantic City. I thought low to middle 90s, so I wasn't too far off, and it was a bit cooler near the beach and boardwalk with a sea breeze.

Today, I'm predicting mostly sunny skies with somewhat lower humidity and highs in the low 90s or so. I think it'll be near 90 even at the beaches, assuming a northwest wind holds the sea breeze at bay.

It'll be clear for a while tonight and then mostly cloudy later tonight with some lows in the 60s, but lower 70s in urban and coastal areas.

And some rain tomorrow, and much much cooler with a wind off the water and cloud cover. Some highs may actually be held to the 70s for Wednesday.

Early clouds Thursday, then some sunshine returning with highs well into the 80s but cooler at the beaches.

A word about Tropical Storm Emily, which formed overnight. Highest winds are about 40 miles per hour and maybe some slight strenghtening in the next 24 hours. It's about 390 miles southeast of San Juan and will eventually cross over Espanola. I don't know how much will be left of the storm after it crosses the island and gets back into the Atlantic Ocean. That remains to be seen.
