First Alert Weather: Higher humidity returning along with rain eventually increasing

Yahoo02-06-2025
Higher humidity has moved back in, along with hazy skies, thanks to the jet stream drawing smoke from Canadian wildfires south all the way to the Southeast U.S.
The smoke will gradually thin and dissipate over the next day or two.

Here's what you can expect for the rest of the week:
Tuesday will be very warm and humid with isolated afternoon showers.
Rainfall coverage will begin to increase Tuesday night and even more so for Wednesday and Thursday, when everyone will get at least some rain. The heaviest amounts will be roughly from Interstate 95 to the beaches.
Highs will be near 90 on Tuesday, then the 80s on Wednesday and Thursday.
We'll go back to a more 'normal' early summer weather pattern Friday into the weekend – hot & humid with a few afternoon storms.
INTERACTIVE RADAR: Keep track of the rain as it moves through your neighborhood
TROPICS: (1) An area of weak low pressure will develop by midweek northeast of Jacksonville & near the coast of the Carolinas. While this area has been highlighted in yellow by the NHC for a low risk of development, there will be few, if any, direct impacts to Jacksonville/Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia. Tropical moisture will bring showers and storms to the local area with or without any low pressure actually developing.
(2) Keeping an eye on the Western Caribbean and Southern Gulf for possible longer-range tropical development – not likely til at least sometime next week, if at all. Always more at 'Talking the Tropics With Mike.'

Chances of New Cyclone Forming Behind Hurricane Erin More Than Double

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An Atlantic disturbance's chances of cyclone formation have jumped from 20 percent to 50 percent between Sunday and Monday, according to forecasters at the National Hurricane Center (NHC). Why It Matters Meteorologists are monitoring the disturbance after Erin became the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season on Friday. According to experts at AccuWeather, Erin underwent one of the fastest intensifications ever recorded, strengthening from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in just 27 hours and 20 minutes. A map highlights the new disturbance in orange and Hurricane Erin in red. A map highlights the new disturbance in orange and Hurricane Erin in red. National Hurricane Center What To Know "A tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms," the NHC said in an update on Monday. "Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form during the latter part of the week." The system was expected to move westward to northwestward at about 20 mph, approaching the Leeward Islands near the end of the week, the NHC said. The agency estimated a 50 percent chance of cyclone development through the next seven days—a notable increase from the 20 percent chance over a similar time frame reported on Sunday. Meanwhile, the NHC said that Hurricane Erin was about 120 miles north of Grand Turk Island. Erin returned to Category 4 strength on Sunday after being briefly downgraded. The agency reported it was moving west-northwest near 10 mph, with a northwestern turn expected later on Monday, and a turn north on Tuesday. The NHC said maximum sustained winds had increased to near 140 mph, with further strengthening anticipated on Monday. The system would remain "a dangerous major hurricane" through the middle of the week, it added. Tropical storm warnings were in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeast Bahamas, according to the NHC. What People Are Saying The National Hurricane Center, on X on Sunday night: "In addition to #Erin, the tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic now has a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation within the next 7 days. The system should approach the NE Caribbean or SW Atlantic by the end of this week." Meteorologist Spinks Megginson, on X on Monday: "Hurricane Erin has strengthened this morning. Maximum winds up to 140 mph in the 11AM EDT advisory. Erin will move north over the next day or so before turning northeast in between North Carolina and Bermuda. Core of Erin will miss land areas in the days ahead, thankfully." What Happens Next The NHC issues frequent updates on its website and social media channels. The agency said Erin was expected to move between the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda this week.

Map Shows When Hurricane Erin Winds Could Hit North Carolina

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tropical storm-force winds from Hurricane Erin could hit coastal North Carolina by Wednesday, a forecast map from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) shows. Newsweek reached out to the NHC by email for comment. Why It Matters As of Monday morning, Hurricane Erin is a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph. The storm has weakened slightly after hitting Category 5 strength over the weekend. Erin is the first hurricane to form during the Atlantic hurricane season, as well as the first major hurricane. What To Know The storm is bringing tropical storm conditions to the Turks and Caicos and parts of the Bahamas on Monday. Erin's path is forecast to take a northward turn, taking it away from the U.S., but the NHC warned that some parts of the East Coast can still expect life-threatening impact. Although Hurricane Erin is not expected to make landfall in the U.S., hurricane-force winds currently extend outward of 80 miles from the storm's center, with tropical storm-force winds extending as far as 230 miles from the center. A map showing the most likely arrival time of tropical storm-force winds revealed that coastal North Carolina has a small chance of experiencing such winds, which are measured as 39 mph or stronger, by Wednesday as the storm passes by the U.S. A map from the National Hurricane Center shows when tropical storm-force winds from Hurricane Erin could impact coastal North Carolina this week. A map from the National Hurricane Center shows when tropical storm-force winds from Hurricane Erin could impact coastal North Carolina this week. National Hurricane Center "Interests along the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Bermuda should monitor the progress of Erin as there is a risk of strong winds associated with the outer rainbands during the middle part of the week," a NHC forecast said. In addition to tropical storm-force winds, other dangerous threats will also likely impact the U.S. "Erin is expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip currents along the beaches of the Bahamas, much of the east coast of the U.S., Bermuda, and Atlantic Canada during the next several days," the NHC said. What People Are Saying The NHC, in a public advisory about Erin: "Erin is moving toward the northwest near 13 mph. A gradual turn to the north is expected later today and on Tuesday. On the forecast track, the core of Erin is expected to pass to the east of the southeastern Bahamas today and move between Bermuda and the east coast of the United States by the middle of the week. "Erin is a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some additional strengthening is expected today. Erin will remain a dangerous major hurricane through the middle of this week." What Happens Next Meteorologists will continue to monitor Hurricane Erin as it progresses. People in the impacted areas, including the U.S. East Coast, should follow local weather guidance as the storm develops.
