As expected, the NWS has discontinued the Tropical Storm Watch for NE New Jersey as well as NYC. Tropical Storm Warnings remain in effect, however, for the shore points of NJ and LI. As you can see from the visible satellite, the cold front has taken over to push Hurricane Earl east and will continue to do so over the next 48 hours at which point Earl will become extratropical over Canada. Hurricane Earl is currently packing winds of 80 mph and will continue to weaken as it moves just east of Cape Cod and into Nova Scotia.
Elsewhere in the tropics, Tropical Storm Fiona is swiftly approaching Bermuda and will cross the island by Sat morning as a minimal tropical storm. The remnants of Gaston are entering more favorable conditions and could become a named storm once again.
Labor Day Weekend Outlook
A cold front will pass through the region overnight Friday into Saturday which should bring some showers to the region overnight Friday, as well as cooler temps across the state. We can see in the image to the left that behind this cold front, temperatures drop to the 70s, 60s, and, in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, even the 50s. Now we won't be seeing temperatures as low as 50's or 60's but by Sunday, high temperatures will be comfortably in the mid 70s, which I'm sure is a welcomed change from the hazy, hot, and humid 90's we've seen the last few days.
For Saturday, expect less-humid, sunny skies with breezy conditions, especially in the northern regions, and temperatures in the low 80s. Overnight the temperature across the state will drop to the mid 50s. So be sure to bring a sweatshirt if you're planning to be outside Saturday night.
Sunday will be much of the same with temperatures in the 70's across the state. Labor Day is shaping up to be a beautiful day across the state as well, with temperatures hovering around 80 degrees with a calm wind and clear skies.
