Things are looking a bit drier for the next few days as that frontal boundary moves off the coast. It also looks like a little area of surface low pressure may form along that boundary and slide to the northeast and out of the region. That will help to increase the northerly flow, even further drying things out.
I’ll hold about a 20-percent shot for rain during the next few days, because it is still summer, but for the most part it should remain dry.

Tropical Note
Things may start to get a bit more active in the coming days, but this isn’t unexpected or out of the ordinary. As we march through August, this is the time of year when things start to pick up in the Tropics. And during the next 10 days, it looks like we will have two – and maybe even three – areas to watch.
The first area is close to home, but won’t ever likely be a true issue. Particularly for the Gulf. Instead this will need to be watched as it plops off the East Coast. The NHC may choose to track this out into the Atlantic as an “Area of Interest” but unlikely to actually develop.
The other two areas out toward Africae are already on the National Hurricane Center’s radar, so to speak.
The area I’ve highlighted it probably a bit too far West, but the idea holds that there are two areas worth watching. Neither of these areas shows much potential, but conditions will be a little more conducive for tropical development during the next 14 days across the Atlantic basin, so it may be more prudent to be a bit more attentive.
