The National Hurricane center is saying theyre not anticipating it to continue to increase in strength, although i dont think they were quite ready for this category 3. Its expected to continue to weaken. However, no matter what, its going to mean a lot of rain for much of these islands. Starting out in the Leeward Islands towards anguilla and antigua and the virgin islands, this is the direction that the storm is headed in. By later in the week, say by sunday. So theyll get a lot of rain here. Then its expected to move over puerto rico, which is in a drought. The really serious drought, the eastern portion of the country. So they dont want all of the rain at once but will get quite a bit if the storm tracks over them. So theyre watching it. Also the Dominican Republic and haiti also watching the storm. Even the turks and caicos should be concerned here, as the storm may, if it holds together in any form, will be moving towards you. Thats why you have to always keep updated with all of the latest updates, where he storm is moving, because things do change with these storms, and so were this will be like into the middle of next week.

Islip, not too much, a third f an inch. Some areas with between 1. 5 and 2 inches. And central park about a third of an inch. But look at jfk, almost 2. 5 inches of rain. The one spot out of this list that just got dumped on. That entire area around the rock aways. In central park. Almost 90 in newark. And 79 in bridgeport. Beautiful day. Its 77 in stanford right now. 83 in greenwich. 81 in reading. Cleared out nicely except on the st end where its still in the 70s in the hamptons. 81 in long branch. 86 in the city now and morristown. Short cast looks g at for tomorrow, except toward the twin forks. Youre going to still see clouds. The winds are going to pick up a little bit. Theyre out of the north now. Theyll stay out of the north 10 to 15 miles per hour. So the waters are going to be choppy. And the rip current chance is moderate. So make sure you stay near the shore break and if youre swimming, you should be near a lifeguard, probably if you dont swim well, stay onshore. 63 in wry brook. Look at the 50s in arlington, rock hill. Nice and cool and comfortable. Low humidity through saturday. Sunday could see a few storms coming back in the afternoon and evening.
