Things are looking up in the Weather Lab as drier air and one of the first real changes in our air mass in months is on the way.  A few isolated showers will be possible overnight tonight through first thing tomorrow morning, but drier air advecting into the region will scour out the moisture and the clouds by late tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow will be another warm one with highs reaching the lower 90s, but northerly breezes and lower dew points should make it feel markedly better. The best push of dry air will come for Thursday and Friday with lows dropping into the upper 60s while daytime highs get suppressed into the upper 80s to near 90. Our quiet and almost comfortable weather should last through Saturday with humidity returning for Sunday with a few showers possible early next week.Â
Ernesto continues on its northwestward trek through south Florida and eventually up the east coast. This system will be remembered as a rain event…very heavy flooding rains will be a possibility along much of the east coast as the trough that’s improving our weather will get hung up with Ernesto for several days. These systems have been notorious for producing major flooding events in isolated areas…hopefully Ernesto will not be the instigator for any of them.  Elsewhere, in the tropics, a couple of tropical waves in the Eastern Atlantic have some potential for development a few days down the road.Â
