Near Perfect

Staff Meteorologist

With the passage of a cold front yesterday, we are left with dry northwesterly winds diminishing in strength in contrast to yesterday's blusteriness. Over the weekend, as a region of high pressure fills in behind a departing low, winds will turn round to southerly raising maximum temperatures above 80°F (27°C), accompanied by mostly clear skies and reasonably low humidity.

Out in the Atlantic, Jerry has moved into the gulf of Mexico and may strengthen a little. Iris is beginning to show some signs of weakening but it is in its early days yet, and Humberto is still roaring in mid-Atlantic with wind gusts topping 125 mph.

Today: Clear skies, with winds brisk in morning settling down later. High 75°F (24°C).

Tonight: Winds moving round to the west. Clear and light winds. Low 61°F (16°C).
