***Over 3 million without power and still producing strong gusts and heavy rain on the northeast Florida coast, chilly blast for Long Island and the northeast next week, people asking me about Nadine, and the Northern Lights tonight!***
- I hope all is ok for those of you that were and still are being affected by Milton. It looks like it produced gusts up to 115 mph with up to 20 inches of rain. It's currently a Cat 1 with 85 mph maximum sustained winds and a pressure of 977 mb.
- Temperatures warm up for Long Island and the northeast and peak on Saturday, followed by a strong cold front and much cooler weather for the middle of next week with highs only in the mid to upper 50's for Long Island on Tuesday and Wednesday with chilly nights mostly in the low 40's with some upper 30's possible.
- While there is a chance (low) for another tropical storm or hurricane (Nadine is the next name), the amount of people that were asking me about it the last couple of days was crazy! I'm not sure what sources you are all following, but there has been a lot of false information spreading. Yes, in around 7 to 10 days there is a chance for something to develop in the western Caribbean, but it's not a strong signal at all YET. I have included the Euro ensembles and GFS ensembles below with the GFS ensembles being more bullish on it. Keep in mind that there are 50 Euro ensemble members and 30 GFS ensemble members.
- Leslie is a hurricane and heading out.
- There is a good chance to see the Northern Lights on Long Island and in the northeast tonight after it gets dark and even up to and a little after midnight, if it all pans out. Find a dark area and allow your eyes time to get adjusted to the darkness, and look north. It will look much better in long-exposure photos.
