Although the impacts from Hurricane Irene are still being felt throughout the area, and many places are still left without power and with significant damage, Monday should prove to be at least a bit of a distraction from this weekends wild weather. As is the case with every weather event, the forecast doesn't stop to reflect on past events; it's always moving forward another day. Luckily for us, Hurricane Irene has left us with one of the most crisp late summer airmasses in recent memory--one which will be defined by high's near 70 and dew points comfortably in the 50's. The sun will shine through at least the middle to end of the week with very low chances of precipitation. If you have cleaning up to do, or if you have no power, the weather will prove to be both good sleeping and working weather, which can definitely be looked at in a positive direction. That being said, we wish everybody the best with their cleanup efforts and also wish the emergency crews the best as they continue to help us along the way. In today's forecast discussion, we talk about Hurricane Irene's impacts, and we look forward to the aforementioned pleasant weather in our near future.

Despite the fact that Hurricane Irene's rains have ended and winds have subsided, the area rivers and creeks have flooded and many are left with flooded basements and roads. In addition, the area rivers are still cresting and towns are currently being evacuated. We would like to remind everyone to stay safe and do not approach any downed trees or power lines---they can be very dangerous. In addition, do not venture near evacuated areas or areas that appear to be inundated with flood water. Some rivers in the area have approached or will approach record flood levels--continuing the threat for damage. Flood Warnings remain in effect for much of New Jersey, Southeast New York, and Connecticut. Please remember to send us your flooding, or any type, storm reports via Facebook, Twitter, or E-Mail. Each and every one of them help us out tremendously.
