Alan's Weather- 08/24/11

High temperatures yesterday reached the low 80s as predicted; 82 in Newark and Atlantic City confirmed that. It was a little bit cooler near the water.

Today will be mostly sunny with still reasonably low humidity and highs in the low to middle 80s, but a bit cooler at the beaches this afternoon.

Tonight, more humid with some lows in the 60s, but low 70s in the big cities and along the shore.

Now, it's going to be humid tomorrow; that's for sure. Watch for showers and gusty thunderstorms mainly tomorrow afternoon and evening. Thursdays highs well into the 80s, but cooler near the ocean. We will be between that system moving out and Irene coming in for the weekend.

Partly cloudy Friday and still humid with a shower possible and highs in the 80s, but cooler at the beaches.

Irene is becoming a major hurricane on its west-northwest track through the Bahamas. It'll be turning northwest and north over the next couple of days. It'll just clip the Outer Banks of eastern North Carolina by probably late Saturday afternoon or Saturday evening/night. Then it's going to be move up along the coast for Sunday.

Now, it may just be possibly moving far enough to the east, although close enough that we will have major impacts here. But, maybe we will be spared the worst if that happens. We can't say that for sure.

More on that tomorrow.
