Several posts back, I mentioned once Isaias reached our latitude (30 north), we would see the drier air to our north & west move our way. That is happening this afternoon and will be noticed most on the North Shore as morning lows will drop into the 60s! for the next several days.
Look at the dew points to our west. Houston & Dallas are in the 60s with Oklahoma City in the 50s! That's great feeling air and you're notice it mainly after the sun sets and during the early morning hours. Now back to Tropical Storm Isaias.
Tropical Storm Isaias is running out of time to become a hurricane again. He should be making landfall in 4-6 hours very near Wilmington, N.C. Charleston is being brushed with some wind an rain but, by far, North Carolina will bear the brunt of this storm. The NHC forecast track takes the centerline up through the big cities of the Northeast with heavy rainfall being the main impact.
The yellow colors indicate 4" total rainfall with the orange 6+". After moving less than 10 mph along Florida's east coast, Isaias is now racing to the NE at nearly 20 mph.
The only other feature NHC is watching is to the SE of Isaias where there is a cluster of clouds that has changed very little today. It should stay well east of the U.S. Computer models are not showing any tropical threats in the Gulf for the next 7-10 days. Enjoy our brief relief from the humidity. Stay tuned!
