Friday/August/20/2021

Welcome: Good morning folks. Read the tropical forecast on Henri because that will be the long term player.

Forecast: Today is mostly cloudy with some drizzle. It will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Lows in the mid to upper 60s. It is a humid day. 

Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy in the mid 80s and humid. Some showers and thunderstorms possible. Lows in the mid 60s.

Then on Sunday it will be mostly cloudy with showers. Highs in the low 80s. Henri will be approaching. Lows in the lower 60s. 

Next Week’s Forecast: Next week we will have Henri at the beginning of the week and then we will have cloudy conditions.

Precipitation Forecast: 40% chance of rain today and tomorrow.

Wind Forecast: 5 to 10 mph turning gusty as Henri approaches.

Air Quality Forecast: Great air.

Heat Index Forecast: Really hot and humid out there, remember to drink water.

UV and Light Forecast: Mostly clouds so do not worry about the sun.

Tropical Forecast: We have three areas to watch. 

1. Tropical Storm Henri. We are in the cone of Henri. Winds here will likely be of tropical storm force or even strong tropical storm force. At the moment it does not look like we will see hurricane force wind because it will still be to our east and it will be slow. Henri will be over cool waters so it will weaken, but because it will move so slow it will weaken even more. However Henri’s intensity will still be a strong tropical storm so if it moves to the west a little and moves slightly faster I would not be surprised to see hurricane watches. This evening I predict we will see tropical storm watches. Do not take tropical storms as a joke. A tropical storm can still do lots of damage. Be prepared and most of all be safe. The storm will approach Sunday so get ready today and tomorrow.

2. A tropical wave near the Cabo Verde Islands will try to merge with another tropical wave. I give it a small chance of development while it moves west.

3. Hurricane Grace will soon make landfall in Mexico.

Hazards Summary: Henri will be here on Sunday.

Notable Amounts: In all I received 1.23 inches of rain from Fred.

Anything to Mention: Have an amazing day.
