It seems there is no relief in sight as far as rain goes. This time of the year it usually takes a tropical system to bring us rain. October climatologically is our driest month of the year so this doesn’t bode promising. November and December are considered our severe weather months of the fall and winter – both being wet months climatologically.
The nights continue to be very cool with the recent passage of our cold front. It was definitely jacket weather when I got off of work this morning. I even turned on the heat in my car for the first time this fall season. With clear skies and bright sunshine, the temperatures soar during the day to the upper eighties and lower nineties. As I’ve said before, September is just another summer month this far into the Deep South.

Tropics…
We now have two hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, Igor and Julia. Igor weakened a bit, but still is packing estimated winds of 135 mph. It will recurve well east of the U.S., but could be very close to Bermuda this weekend. Julia won’t get close to the U.S., and is expected to weaken to a tropical storm as shearing from Igor’s outflow begins to impact the system late this week.
The wave over the Caribbean still has a great chance to become Tropical Storm Karl soon… this one will move across the Yucatan Peninsula, with the second landfall on the Mexican coast well south of Brownsville, Texas. No impact on the Central Gulf Coast.
