Derrah Getter's First Warning Forecast
The days filled with crystal clear blue skies and crisp air are now behind us. A cloudy and rainy stretch of weather lies ahead for next week.
Cloud cover will be increasing as we finish out the week. Humidity will be inching up as well. While high pressure sticks around to our north rain chances will be limited over the weekend.
Rain chances ramp up starting at the beginning of next week. The soggy stretch of weather will last for a few days, likely not letting up until Thursday or Friday. Models are still not in agreement as to exactly how much rain we'll see but you can expect anywhere from 1 to 4 inches. Locally higher amounts will be possible.
Tropical Update
As of 9/12/24 at 5 pm
East of the Leeward Islands:
Showers and thunderstorms continue to become a bit more concentrated in association with a small area of low pressure located a few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. Due to dry air nearby, environmental conditions are expected to become even less conducive over the weekend while the system moves slowly west/northwestward.
Formation chance through 48 hours...LOW (30%)
Formation chance through 7 days...LOW (30%)
Offshore southeastern U.S.:
In a few days, a non-tropical area of low pressure could form along a residual frontal boundary a few hundred miles off the southeastern U.S. coastline. Some subtropical or tropical development is possible during the early part of next week while the system drifts off to the northwest.
Formation chance through 48 hours...LOW (near 0%)
Formation chance through 7 days...LOW (30%)
