· Some clouds creeping in from post Tropical Strom Hermine this morning but expect lots of sunshine.

· Peak amount of clouds will move in overnight and then disperse a bit Wednesday.

· Hermine weakening in intensity but still spinning south, southeast of the eastern tip Long Island.

· Late Wednesday will be the last of her influence and then all eyes will look west at the next incoming frontal system.

· Once again we are drying out and total precipitation is perhaps around ½ inch to an inch over the next ten days. That’s still pretty dry compared to normal. This is likely to have some impacts of future Fall Foliage season by stressing trees faster and in theory colors coming out faster.
