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.

If it's the final weekend of the Summer for you, Mother Nature doesn't seem to want to cooperate. From rip current risks at the beaches from Ernesto, to rain chances, hazardous weather is possible for many. This is the same system that brought severe weather to the Plains and Midwest earlier in the week. The area of low-pressure responsible will move across the Upper Midwest and into New England on Saturday.

Those with outdoor plans or travel in the northeastern United States may face problems as downpours and thunderstorms once again ramp up in the region. Weather systems are teaming up for what may be a bad weekend for outdoor activities and travel in the northeastern United States, AccuWeather meteorologists say.

Downpours to drench Northeast this weekend, trigger travel troubles

We have arrived at the doorstep of the weekend and we are going to have one last day of sunshine and low humidity before things change. Satellite loops show an upper trough to the northeast over Atlantic Canada. That is slowing down the next upper trough and cold front that is moving across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. This leaves is in sunshine for much of the day and temperatures will be topping out in a range of 80 to 85. Dew points will remain reasonable in the mid to upper 50s. No rain is in the forecast for today and overnight. Humidity levels across the Northeast and Northern Mid Atlantic will begin rising as a southerly flow develops along the East Coast bringing in low level moisture. Saturday morning lows will be in the 60s for the most part. Now as far as the weekend goes, if you have to pick one day I would go with Saturday over Sunday.
