Wednesday will bring abundant sunshine with a high temperature in the mid 80s. Winds will be light and easterly at about 5mph. Once again, the night will cool down considerably with temps in the 50s.

Thursday will run very similar to Wednesday. For the end of the week, temperatures will begin to come up a little bit as some humidity returns to the area. Look for highs in the upper 80s and lows in the mid 60s. Still though, skies are expected to stay mostly clear.

The next nominal chance for a shower comes over the weekend?but keep watering those fall lawns and gardens. Zonal (west to east) flow will persist in the upper levels through the remainder of the week. Because air circulates clockwise around high pressure, the high pressure dominating our weather pattern in the Northeastern U.S. will maintain surface winds out of the southeast and eventually allowing a gradual return of some humidity and slight warming of temperatures. Overall though, the two features will lead to mainly clear skies and no shot at any rain for the week.

In the tropics, Nicole is the only system worth mentioning. It's finally gaining some momentum and will soon move north into the central Atlantic. It will impact Bermuda possibly as a category two storm, but it will not affect the United States.
