Long Term Forecast…

The NWS has revised their forecast once again bringing in the possibility of afternoon showers towards the end of the week.  Warm temperatures will also arrive as each night and day grows warmer.  Are we having our Indian summer?  I was trying to think this morning when the leaves begin to turn and it is usually around Halloween this far south.  I am hoping this will put my new leaf blower to work for my lawn care business. 

Will Hermine Have More Impact Than Earl?

Hermine is headed into south Texas this morning.  The radar echoes last night looked very much like a Hurricane or very strong tropical storm.   The Weather Channel made a big deal out of Earl, but I fear Hermine will have a much greater affect on the lower 48 states.  Especially Texas.  Flooding rains will most likely be the most dangerous threat than high winds.  Flash flooding is one of the more dangerous weather phenomena's killing more people per year than almost any other.   If there is death and destruction, then The Weather Channel will be there to report it. 

A Look at the Tropics…

  The Atlantic basin looks quiet tonight and so does the Caribbean region.  There is a strong tropical wave coming off the coast of Africa as you can see in the image to the left.  It does look impressive, but there is a very strong central Atlantic high off the coast of the United States and this will most likely steer any storms that develop out of our way.  We still have a few more months of Hurricane season, but I just don’t think this year will be a banter year despite what was predicted by all the weather models.
