Today’s Forecast Map
Monday was wonderful day across Nelson County. For the second full day of fall the air was drier and temperatures, though still warm, lower humidities made it feel really nice especially with a light northerly breeze from time to time. Today expect warmer temps as we lose that northerly influence for more of a southerly wind. The humidity will be on the increase today as well.
I continue to watch numerous areas of disturbed weather out in the Atlantic. There is no immediate threat right now to the U.S. Eastern Coast, but I will be monitoring these closely over the coming week. One or two of them have the potential to develop into a tropical storm soon. Once they become more organized I’ll start posting more.
