Ernesto’s Influence on Your Weekend Weather

Hurricane Ernesto is still churning in the Atlantic and is moving north, away from Bermuda. Its course will take it over the water into the middle of the north Atlantic, the entire east coast of the US and maritime Canada will see indirect effects. As Ernesto churns up the sea, higher waves will result which then in turn create a high risk of developing rip currents. In addition to being dangerous for swimmers, extensive beach erosion can result. This is expected on all Southern New England beaches through Sunday night.

Weather-wise, we have a lot of clouds to contend with. Tonight look for the development of patchy fog and clouds will build in as well. Lows drop to the mid-60s. Sunday will be mostly cloudy and muggy with highs near 80. Monday and Tuesday will be very unsettled with showers, patchy fog and the chance of thunderstorms. Humidity will peak on Monday with dew points in the lower-70s. Tuesday will be cooler and more comfortable but still unsettled. Once we get to midweek, our weather becomes spectacular with plenty of sunshine, comfortable humidity and temperatures of 75-80.
