Alan's Weather- 08/23/11

High temperatures yesterday reached the upper 70s and low 80s pretty much as we expected with very low humidity. It was a spectacular day.

And mark down another for today with very low humidity and very sunny skies. A few highs will be near 80, though it may turn cooler at the beaches with a possible sea breeze this afternoon.

Tonight will be clear with some lows back in the 50s, but mid 60s or a shade above in urban and coastal areas.

Still fairly pleasant for Wednesday with sunny skies and highs in the low 80s, but cooler near the ocean.

A cool front approaches later Thursday with some sun and arriving clouds. The best chance of a shower or thunderstorm will be Thursday afternoon and evening with highs back in the 80s, but cooler at the beach.

And Friday looks okay from here. Then our attention will be turned toward the track of Hurricane Irene.

There seems little doubt that the hurricane is going to strike the North Carolina coastline somewhere as far west as Wilmington or as far east as Cape Hatteras. It will then move north-northeast up along or just off the east coast close to enough New Jersey by Sunday and Sunday night to possibly cause some real problems here.

Stay tuned.
