Overview
- High pressure is delivering cool, dry weather today with highs mainly in the 50s to 70s and patchy frost or a brief freeze possible overnight in inland and higher elevations.
- Temperatures climb Friday into the weekend and early next week, reaching the upper 70s to near 80 degrees in many areas, with parts of the South and Texas holding in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
- The overall pattern stays mostly dry, and several outlets note worsening drought conditions, with a more organized chance of showers tied to a cold front around Wednesday.
- Hurricane Imelda is near and moving away from Bermuda and is expected to transition post‑tropical, while the National Hurricane Center monitors two low‑probability disturbances in the Atlantic and near the Bahamas/Florida.
- Marine and coastal impacts continue in select areas, including small craft advisories and a risk of coastal flooding and rough surf as winds shift and offshore systems influence local waters.
