Humidity levels have been creeping higher since Saturday and we are going to be back in the soup for today as well as the week ahead. We will also be dealing with a series of waves moving around the Bermuda high. It is building into the Southeastern US. A southwest flow aloft is bringing up ripples in the flow. It will not be raining all the time but there will be some downpours and a few heavier thunderstorms to deal with during the week ahead.

New Jersey State

Low pressure both at the surface and aloft is sitting off the coast of Long Island and Southeastern New England. Bands of rain have moved back westward overnight and we see them around this morning. However this surface and upper feature will be moving northward today so we look for bands of rain which are on the radar to begin to diminish as the day wears on. Clouds will be around all day though some areas inland will probably see some breaks of sunshine developing. There will be a rather wide range in temperatures today from the 70s near the coast where cloud cover dominates to the 80s inland where there is a better chance for some sunshine.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Saturday was a hot and humid day, but some showers and storms cooled many locations back down during the afternoon or evening. Even before the cooling rain arrived, temperatures only warmed into the upper 80s and low 90s. Not bad for late July. While showers lingered into the evening, they fade away overnight. Meanwhile, the sky remains partly to mostly cloudy with lows in the low to mid 70s.
