Good morning,

If you are in LA, TX, or AL, it is time to get ready for a major hurricane. Do no ignore Gustav.


Warmer Air North; Eyes On Gustav South

Wayne Verno, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel

Northeast

A cold front moving east across the area will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly to the eastern areas this afternoon. This includes areas such as Washington, DC, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston.

Locally heavy downpours will be the primary risk.

This cold front will move east of the area tonight, allowing high pressure to build in. This high pressure will dominate the Northeastern States through at least the middle of next week.

Expect sunny and dry weather, along with warm, above average temperatures.


South |

Isolated to scattered afternoon thunderstorms will develop along the Southeast Coast and most of Florida and its coasts, as abundant tropical moisture, and onshore flow dominates the area.

Scattered thunderstorms will also impact southern and western Texas, where an upper-level disturbance and an increased flow of moisture will be in place. Locally heavy downpours and flash flooding will be possible.

Isolated thunderstorms can also be expected over the southern Plains, as a weakening cold front approaches from the north. An isolated severe thunderstorm cannot be ruled out.

Residents along the Gulf Coast will also want to monitor the lasted forecasts regarding Gustav, as it could be threatening some parts of the coastal areas by Labor Day.

A few showers and thunderstorms will begin developing along Gulf Coastal areas as early as Sunday afternoon along the outer fringes of Gustav. Conditions will then rapidly deteriorate Sunday night into Monday, with the worse conditions expect Monday night into Tuesday.

You can visit the Hurricane Season Page for the latest information on Gustav, and potential impacts along the Gulf Coastal States.

Midwest

High pressure will dominate all Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes this weekend, into early next week, resulting in mostly sunny and dry conditions, along with warm, above average temperatures.

Some gusty winds will also develop over the northern Plains this weekend, as southerly flow increase.

A new cold front will enter the northern Plains by Monday, with the next chance for thunderstorms. This cold front will slowly track east across the plains and Upper Midwest through the middle of next week.


West
The sharp cold front will move into the Northwest this weekend.

Today, high temperatures will be 5 to almost 20 degrees above average from Montana, Wyoming and northern Colorado to central California, ahead of this front, while afternoon readings in Washington and Oregon will be 5 to 15 degrees below average behind the front.

Scattered thunderstorms will pop from southeast California to New Mexico. The clouds and scattered thunderstorms will keep Phoenix below 100 and much of New Mexico 5-to-15-degrees below average in the 70s and lower 80s.

These thunderstorms will also bring the threat for heavy downpours and flash flooding.

Sunday and Monday, the cold front will continue to plow through the West.

High temperatures will be 5 to 30 degrees below average over much of the region.

Showers and thunderstorms will cover a wide area from Montana to Arizona and New Mexico. Snow will fall in the higher elevations of the northern Rockies.

Highs will range from the 30s, 40s and 50s in Montana and Wyoming in the wake of the cold front to the 90s in the Desert Southwest.

Good morning Charles and thank you. Things are really popping in the Gulf, and looks like the southwest is getting some rain too. It is a nice sunny day here, and the furbabies are working those squirrels.
