Slightly cooler today with the passage of a “cool” front. Not necessarily a cold front. Our much anticipated rain and storms fizzled after sunset. My rain gauge didn’t have one drop of measurable rain. As I went to bed, I could see a few flashes of lightning far to the south, but it was well out of range of us.
No rain in the forecast for the next seven days. Highs in the high eighties to lower nineties with cool nights will be the norm. We have a chance of dense fog off the Chattahoochee this morning, but I don’t think it will happen as it normally doesn’t when they predict it.

Igor Becomes a Hurricane…
Igor has been upgraded to a hurricane late tonight. The 75 mph hurricane is 1350 miles east of the island of St. Martin in the northern Leeward Islands. It is moving west at 17 mph. It is still expected to pass north of the Leeward Island ealry next week and should become a large and intense hurricane. By next weekend, it will be curving off the coast of the Northeast U.S., a few hundred miles east of Cape Code, sort of like Hurricane Earl.
The disturbance over the eastern Caribbean is a little less organized, but still has a decent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone over the next couple of days.
The disturbance that just moved off the African Coast is very close to already being a tropical depression and we could see advisories start shortly.
