WHAT'S NEW: Tracking a cold front to come our way tonight, helping to drop us out of that "June feeling" that has been around recently, and back down to typical levels for this time of year.
WHAT'S NEXT: Tropical moisture, from a system near the Bahamas, will come our way Friday into Saturday. A soaking few inches could be in store for Long Island as well as the chance for flooding.
TROPICS:
There are 2 disturbances being monitored by the National Hurricane Center.
NICOLE – The system is a sub-tropical storm, moving just north of the Bahamas. It will gradually move westward, towards Florida, and forecast to strengthen into a category 1 hurricane by Wednesday. It will weaken and move up the East Coast, bringing tropical rains by Friday/Saturday to Long Island.
A second system is a tropical wave in the Central Atlantic Ocean. It has a moderate (60%) chance of development in the next 5 days. It will pose no threat to anyone.
Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Addison Green says it's back to reality as traditional November temperature are set to return.
