Thomas street a buzz of activity. Photo SB
At least they had good weather....dozens of contractors and Bell employees were out all night in Kemptville on Thomas Street repairing hundreds of fiber optic phone lines that were severed by a contractor yesterday afternoon. Phone service was cut to nearly 3000 homes and is slowly being restored today.
The weather remains very pleasant with low humidity and brilliant sunshine. We expect temperatures to warm to 23-25C today and Thursday. Beyond that we are watching low pressure developing off the Carolina coast that is forecast to move north towards New York City. Kemptville will remain on the northwest side of this storm, but we may still see clouds and some rain late Friday and Saturday before clearing Sunday. This system is currently producing coastal flooding along the Outer Banks of North Carolina with ocean overwash reported along Highway 12. Waves and winds are pounding the region with gusts recorded over 40mph in Hatteras and seas building to over 8 feet.
We are also watching that potential tropical system near Puerto Rico, but that is still several days out...more to follow.
