Gulf Settles Down...

Satellite loops tonight still show a weak swirl down over the northern Gulf south of Lafayette, but all the showers around it have diminished.    As this system drifts farther to the west, any risk for heavy rains here are gone...at least for now.   Our VIPIR model & RPM  show another surge of Gulf moisture will arrive on Friday, but for Wed-Thursday, we should see below normal rain coverage. 

Hurricane Cristobal will brush by Bermuda tonight, but it's circulation has brought very dry air down over the Northeastern Gulf.   We'll need to monitor this boundary, but Water Vapor shows a well defined Upper High has developed that should squash any shower formation.   Now if a low level swirl were to develop under an upper high...nah!  Unless something springs to life out of no where, this final weekend of "meteorological summer" should not see a tropical threat here.
