Water Vapor Satellite 3:00pm 11/9/2010

Tuesday has, thus far, turned out to be quite the pleasant fall day. Temperatures ran a degree or two above forecasted high values, and reached into the mid and upper 50's in some locales. The large coastal storm responsible for Monday's wild weather remains off to our east and northeast, still churning in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. This feature is blocked off to the north and doesn't have much space to move over the next day or two, so we expect it to meander a bit there. The result will be a cap on how much influence the ridge over the Central United States can have on our area, as well as continued stormy waters (for the boaters and people near the shore this week). Tonight (Tuesday Night) will feature partly cloudy skies with temperatures dropping into the 40's. The possible presence of clouds and the continued breezy winds should prevent ideal radiation conditions. Wednesday should feature much of the same as today (Tuesday). Beyond Wednesday, things look to warm up ever so slightly each day towards 60 for highs on Friday and the beginning of the weekend, before a cold front approaches the region later in the weekend.

Tonight (Tuesday Night): Partly cloudy for most of the evening, though some areas may see less clouds than others. Temperatures dropping into the low to mid 40's in the city, and upper 30's to low 40's inland. Winds still breezy, 10 to 15 miles per hour out of the north.

Wednesday: Partly cloudy and a bit warmer, much of the same as we experienced on Tuesday. High temperatures should touch the mid to upper 50's once again. Winds a bit calmer this go around, out of the north at 5 to 10 miles per hour.

Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with temperatures dropping into the lower 40's in the city and mid to upper 30's inland. Winds still out of the north, much more light at 5 to 10 miles per hour.
