Tracking the Tropics and Hurricane Ernesto
Hurricane Ernesto was the only storm in the Atlantic Ocean, making landfall in Bermuda as a Category 1 hurricane. While it will continue to weaken and move northeastward, becoming a tropical storm, the Gulf Coast will not be impacted.
Although Ernesto won’t directly affect the United States, it is creating dangerous rip currents along the East Coast, posing risks to swimmers and beachgoers.
The Unrelenting Heat Wave
High pressure ridges are dominating our weather patterns, keeping temperatures elevated. While there may be a slight weakening of the ridge towards the end of August, don’t expect relief from the heat just yet. Temperatures will remain in the mid-to-upper 90s, with triple digits still possible.
For those seeking cooler temperatures, consider heading to the Midwest, where temperatures are expected to be in the 60s and 70s by the end of the month.
Transitioning into the new week, there is no chance of rain on Sunday and the beginning of the week. However, a stalled front will bring the potential for showers and thunderstorms mid-week into the weekend, providing some relief from the relentless heat.
Stay updated on the latest weather conditions and take precautions to stay safe and cool during this intense heatwave.
