POTENTIAL TROPICAL STORM IMA POSSIBLE IMPACT AREAS OF EAST COAST – Good morning everyone! We have another beautiful day today and as expected from last week, winds will swing around to the northeast. Even so, the sun will remain for 1 more full day and we’ll have temps in the mid to upper 70’s.

If you read last week’s forecast, I kept Tuesday and Wednesday cloudy and talked about the issue with old, stalled out fronts this time of year in regards to tropical development. The reason for it is because with no immediate Cape Verde threat, old fronts would be our #1 concern for any issues in the area.

With a stalled out front draped across the south and through Flroida, low pressure has begun to form and feed off of the outflow of what once was Hurricane Harvey and now a tropical storm. This low pressure has the potential to become Tropical Storm Ima and will affect the coastlines of SC and NC before heading out to sea.

As of this moment, it looks as if we’ll be on the northern fringe of the precipitation field as (potential) Ima moves to our south. Whether it is Ima, just a low pressure, or what could become extra-tropical Ima, it doesn’t make a difference at this point; our area will see conditions similar as if a Nor’easter just brushed us. This means the usual chance of some light to moderate rain at times, gusty winds, rough seas, rip currents along the beaches, and higher than normal tides.

So for tonight, clouds increase, and we’ll have a slight chance of showers by daybreak. Winds will increase tomorrow out of the east, gusting to possibly 30-35mph at the immediate coast, and a better shot at some steady light at times, possibly moderate at times IF low pressure nudges in a few extra miles. Similar conditions will remain for Wednesday, but the chance of precip will diminish. Highs tomorrow will barely make 70, but Wednesday we’ll bounce back to the mid to upper 70’s.

On Thursday, we clear things out and winds will swing around to the SW to bring us a beautiful, warm day with highs in the low 80’s. A front will approach though later in the day to give us the slight chance of a thunderstorm before we cool off again Friday.

For the marine forecast, the ocean will be a no-go obviously until late Thursday or Friday when things lay down a bit, so stay in the bays all week. Surfers will have a decent shot at seeing some good wave action tomorrow and Wednesday.

This is not a big deal folks, no matter how much hype may come of it. As I said, just think of it as a Nor’easter brushing us. There’s no need to get out there and but 50 quarts of milk and 50 cases of eggs. I’ll be back tomorrow to update on how much rain (if any) we will see out of this, and our Labor Day Forecast, which is looking a little complicated.

 

Satellite View

POTENTIAL TROPICAL STORM IMA POSSIBLE IMPACT AREAS OF EAST COAST – Harvey continues to spin as low pressure off of Georgia begins to form along the tail end of an old front. This has the potential to become Tropical Storm Ima, but impact should be minimal, especially compared to what Texas is going through. It won’t be remotely anything close.

Northeast Radar

Radar is quiet, but we will wait to see how far north the precip shield from low pressure (or TS Ima) gets. We could see some light to maybe some moderate showers in the area tomorrow and some gusty winds.
