One week from today we reach October and no computer model has any tropical system developing in the Gulf. Models do show our first real front pushing through towards the end of the first week in October. I have booked the “Fat Lady” for the second week of October when we should know if more cooler weather is coming. Tonight’s temperatures from Boston to NYC to Detroit, Chicago out west to Denver into Montana are in the 40s & 50s – sweater weather! It’s only a matter of time before that chill will return…but not this week & most of next week. It the meantime, we have to deal with that summer-like feel that has been here since May. NWS indicates shower chances for the next few days will be above normal (60-80%) versus the more typical 30-40%. Keep the rain gear handy.
The Tropics continue active, but all of the threats remain far out at sea. The nearest is a cluster of storms SE of the Carolina coastline that is expected to swing just offshore. The last thing they need right now is more rain. It’s heartbreaking to watch all the neighborhoods still under water. Certainly brings back the ugly memories of Katrina where many of us were displaced from our homes for weeks & months. We can identify with their misery. Leslie is going to stay way out in the middle of the north Atlantic while what’s left of Kirk is churning towards the Windward islands. For now things are looking up for us, especially if we can get the cold fronts coming. Stay tuned!
