- Tropics: There is an increased probability of tropical development for the 2 systems in the Atlantic (see 1st image); the system near Cuba has a 30% chance when it gets into the Gulf and the system out in the Atlantic has a 40% chance. The next name on the list is Gonzalo. Beyond that though, there will be another system that some of the Euro ensembles eventually develop into a hurricane as it heads in the general direction of the United States at the end of the month. I will continue to update.
Long Island forecast:
- Today: Mostly sunny and hot, but less humid by later this morning and into the afternoon. Highs mostly in the low 90's, but cooler for the south shore and east end.
- Tomorrow: Humid with a 40% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms at times with the potential for heavy downpours and gusty winds in any thunderstorm.
