    76 / 57 and a fantastic morning. Early clouds should move through and clear for a mustly sunny and stunning afternoon. Low 80s, mid 80s in the warm spots. repeat / 4peat this through Wed (8/14) before warming and more humid by Thu (8/15) and into next weekend where next trough could push showers and storms through to end the current dry period. Ernesto looks to miss EC but New England to Halifax could still be impacted. Beyond there near normal with western heat building north and east for the week of the 26th. https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/SECTOR/eus/02/GOES16-EUS-02-1000x1000.gif
