Two Sunny Days to Come & Update on Tropical Storm Gert

We are currently enjoying a nice and pleasant night. Temperatures are falling through the 70's right now, and will continue to drop to an overnight low around 60. We had to deal with some stubborn low clouds this morning and afternoon, but they began to move out as we headed through the evening making a spectacular sunset. Sorry I couldn't get a picture but take my word for it!

Tomorrow will be just a wonderful day with mostly sunny skies and pleasant humidity levels. A few cumulus clouds possible in the afternoon, but otherwise bright sunshine. Tuesday will be just a touch warmer but still mostly sunny, with high temperatures in the middle 80's. Our next chance of rain will arrive on Thursday when our next cold front will push through the area. Another chance of rain on Saturday/Sunday associated with an other frontal boundary.

TROPICS: Tropical Storm Gert has formed and is currently 215 miles southeast from Bermuda moving to the NNE at 8 MPH. Gert has maximum sustained winds up to 45 MPH with a minimum central pressure 1008 MB and is expected to become a rather strong tropical storm. Thus, the National Hurricane Center has issued a tropical storm warning for the island of Bermuda. Track of T.S. Gert and satellite image of Gert following this blog post. Another area south of T.S. Gert has a 30% chance of developing (according to the NHC) into a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours.

Tonight: Clear, lows around 60
Tomorrow: Mostly sunny with pleasant humidity levels, highs in the lower 80's
