Hurricane Dorian’s center passes well southeast of the city to start the weekend. Because of its large and expanding size, it will still influence our weather. Once Dorian passes, we’ll see improving conditions though cooler temperatures will be the rule with Canadian high pressure taking over.

Rest of today – mostly cloudy with isolated showers, more likely during the late afternoon and evening hours. It’s difficult to say even now whether the outermost rain bands from Dorian actually manage to hit the city, and even if they do, it’s also unclear how intense they will be. High temperatures in the low-70s. Overnight lows in the low-60s with cool, northeasterly onshore flow due to the cyclonic circulation around Dorian. For more info, see this detailed forecast.

Saturday – much improved conditions as drier air works in behind Dorian. Mostly sunny with high temperatures in the upper-70s. Overnight lows in the low-60s.

Sunday – a touch cooler though still mostly sunny with high temperatures in the mid-70s as winds turn more to the north and Canadian high pressure builds. Overnight lows in the low-60s.

Monday – high temperatures continue a 5-6°F below average trend, with highs forecast to be in the low-70s and mostly sunny skies. It will definitely feel like fall. Overnight lows in the mid-60s.
