Update on the tropics with a potential hurricane and the L.I. forecast with a cold front coming:

- Invest 91L, in the southern Caribbean Sea, should become a tropical storm by tomorrow night, and it should have just enough time to become a Cat 1 hurricane before making landfall this weekend in central to northern Nicaragua. It will very likely be named Julia since the tropical depression in the eastern Atlantic is not expected to become a named storm. After landfall in Nicaragua, the Euro ensembles are kind if split, although most of them seem to have it crossing into the Pacific; however, a small number of them do have it head northwest and emerge into the Bay of Campeche.

- Finally, the clouds will move away this morning and we have a mostly sunny stretch for the next 7 days. A strong cold front will come through tomorrow late afternoon into early evening for Long Island with a slight chance of a scattered passing shower or some sprinkles. The wind will abruptly shift to a northwest wind with gusts to 25 mph, and then temperatures will pretty sharply drop from the low 70's in the late afternoon into the mid 40's later at night. Highs will only be in the upper 50's on Saturday, but it will gradually warm up a little each day and make it into the upper 60's the middle of next week. The next cold front will then likely come through later next week.
