Synopsis
High pressure over our region will dominate our weather through early next week. A tropical disturbance will be located off the Southeast US on Monday into Tuesday which may bring the return of some precipitation to the region by the middle of next week.

Near Term - Through Thursday
High pressure centered near Nantucket is in control and will remain parked off to the northeast through tomorrow, fostering a light onshore flow, and bringing tranquil conditions. A Rex Block will begin to set up as well over the Eastern US, prolonging a period of quiet weather.

For tonight, expecting pretty favorable conditions for radiational cooling yet again with light winds and mostly clear skies. Some patchy radiational fog is expected to develop, mainly in valleys + rural and secluded areas. Areas of fog could locally be dense, but not widespread enough to issue any advisories. Temperatures will fall into the low to mid 50s, with upper 50s along the coast and within the urban corridor.

Any fog mixes out quickly by mid-morning and we are looking at another very nice mid-September day. Temperatures will climb into the upper 70s/low 80s. Another sea-breeze looks to develop, but that is about the only mentionable thing about tomorrow as it looks quiet.

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... High pressure will be situated to our north and northeast near or off the coast of New England through much of the short term period leading to continuing onshore flow. Aloft, a Rex Block pattern will be setting up as upper level ridging builds over the Great Lakes and a closed low associated with what is currently Hurricane Francine meanders over the south-central US.

All in all, this will result in dry weather with mainly clear to partly cloudy skies throughout the period with some occasional high clouds from Francine fanning in from south to north at times. There may also be a period of some low stratus that develops late Thursday night into early Friday over southern parts of the forecast area (Delmarva, south Jersey, SE PA). Highs will generally be in the upper 70s to mid 80s, with lows ranging from the mid 50s to low 60s. Humidity should remain rather comfortable.

Long Term - Saturday Night Through Wednesday
As a whole, the long term period remains relatively unchanged through the weekend as the Rex Block pattern continues. This will yield continuing dry conditions along with above normal temperatures through Sunday.

The blocking pattern does appear that it will break down early next week, which may finally result in some much needed precipitation returning to the area by midweek. For now, both the GFS/ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) global guidance indicate that there is potential for the development of a tropical disturbance off the Southeast US eventually lifting northward by midweek. Will have to monitor this closely as weather features following blocking patterns are often difficult to predict, but considering model to model run consistency, have maintained a 20- 30% chance of showers on Tuesday and Wednesday for much of the area.

Marine
No marine headlines expected through Thursday. Winds generally out of the east around 5-10 kt with 2 foot seas.

Outlook... No marine headlines are expected Thursday night through Saturday night. However by late Sunday into early next week seas look to increase to levels near or above Small Craft Advisory levels due developing system south of our waters.

Rip currents... Through Friday...Northeast winds around 10 mph will become east to locally southeast each afternoon and evening. Breaking waves in the surf zone are forecast to be around 2 feet with a period of around 8 seconds. As a result, there is a LOW risk for the development of dangerous rip currents for both the Jersey Shore and the Delaware Beaches.
