Fall Coolness Not Too Far Away...

A good part of the nation is in the 40s & 50s tonight and all we need is for an east coast trough to develop that will drag that chill down to us.  Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen until NEXT week at the soonest.   However, walking Bailey tonight and it just didn’t feel bad out…warm, but not hot.   With the MJO (Madden-Julian oscillation) going back into the favorable (rising air) phase for the next 7-10 days, look for more tropical activity to break out.  No model shows anything developing in the Gulf, but the swirl south of Bermuda is starting to see some storms burst around the circulation and that is likely to be our next named (Michael) storm.  Models bring is westward toward the Carolina coast, but quickly turn it back to the NE just brushing the coast.   The last thing they need is more rain so let’s hope the models are correct keeping the rain shield offshore.   Leslie is the only other system way out in the central Atlantic and it will probably still be around next weekend.   Kirk was smashed by strong westerly shear and that shear will keep a hostile environment over the Caribbean for much of this week.  The “Fat Lady” has indicated she is available to sing anytime during the next 10-14 days, but I want to make sure we have cold fronts coming before she sings…”turn out the lights”.  Stay tuned!

 

On my last blog, I talked about a JPAS play in Westwego that I saw on Friday night that was terrific.  However, I never mentioned the name of the play so tonight I will.  It’s called SHEAR MADNESS and it really is.  Go check it out.  I promise you’ll love it.
