Showers and storms from Saturday  late into Monday.  Below – threat of severe weather today – in dark green and yellow. Below – animated maps for the next couple of days followed by expected rainfall for the next 5 days. While the holiday weekend will not feature heavy rain for Northeast….Sunday & Monday looked to be cloudy and cool with some rain or showers.  Below – from the hurricane center…area they are watching and possible tracks. Currently too much sheer for this system to really form…but in time that could change and a tropical depression or storm could threaten the Gulf Coast. If they name it…it would be Alberto.   Be safe.
