Tomorrow: Another day of this wonderful weather...
Thursday: Sun and clouds, muggy and chance of storms in the afternoon
...I think after Sundays storms (that almost had me work a 24 hour day) we deserve this "fall-like" feel??? I'm def ready for the fall, aren't you?...bring on the fall drinks as well as the fashion!
Hurricane Irene:
Okay, here's what its trending...looks like Saturday into Sunday we will see the effects, no matter what. Now if the hurricane tracks inland, we get heavy rain and if the hurricane tracks up along the coast, we get the gusty winds. We'll have a better idea for our area by at least Friday.
The last time a hurricane/tropical storm can through our area was Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Actually New Jersey along with 9 other states, were declared major disaster areas from this storm. Rainfall was a major problem from this particular hurricane...now our problem, this time around, could very well be the rainfall...especially since the ground is so saturated already (on target to be the wettest August EVER!)
The last time NYC was directly hit by a hurricane was in 1821. This storm produced 13 foot storm surges for the Hudson. According to the Weather Channel, NYC is the second most vulnerable city to get hit and to make matters worse, we are due for a direct hit due to the lack of activity over the past few decades.
