· Other than morning fog which should burn off by around 9 AM, conditions spectacular today and not very humid. Dew points the best metric to look at will be in the upper 40s to low 50s and that is some kind of nice if you need to do heavy labor out of doors.

· Tomorrow pick of the week dew points climb into the upper 50s to lower 60s by the end of the day but still moderate humidity levels and warmer temps with highs peaking in the low to mid 80s.

· Our next weather maker does not come until later Thursday afternoon far northern areas but makes it into Vermont Thursday night and Friday with some showers and possibly a few thunderstorms.

· Tropics have turned much more active – as we near the peak of Atlantic Hurricane season on 10 of September. There are some hints at a possible North American land strike in the southeast U.S. next week.

· The warmest 90 days of climatology for our region effectively “meteorological summer” ends on September 5th.
