Freeze Possible North Shore, Quick Rebound Coming Mid Week.

 Since our tropical Threats have long ended, This blog & Podcasts will focus on local weather and local FOX 8 Personalities, both past & present. Coming up this Thursday will be a half hour with Bruce Katz.  To see & hear Bruce, you must subscribe to my podcast at bobbreck.com.  The costs is only $2/month and I believe you'll enjoy hearing about the private lives of these public figures.  For today, the well advertised Arctic Blast is coming for Sunday PM into Tuesday morning.  Here's what's driving it.

Note the 20s & 30s across the northern Plains.  That's the air coming our way. There is a broad upper low over the eastern states with multiple centers.  The one driving the current chill over the northern Plains is near Omaha.  That will quickly sag over the Southeast with the cold front arriving during the daylight hours on Sunday.

At the moment, there is no rain with the front.  However, a few showers may form on Sunday as it reaches us.  You won't really notice the colder air until later in the day and especially after dark.  These are the projected lows for Monday & Tuesday mornings that Hannah Gard showed on her morning program

Based on what I'm seeing, I am doing NOTHING to protect my plants as the South Shore should stay above 40+.  Why?  Lake Pontchartrain's water temp. is still around 70 degrees.  However, if you live north of the Lake, you'll get into the 30s (perhaps upper 20s Tues) and will want to protect your tropical plants.   This will be a quick 2 day in and out for the cold as we'll quickly rebound back to 70+ midweek.

Have the heavy coats ready, but remember we are still in November and the cold won't linger.  Enjoy your Sunday and stay tuned!

 

Time to Prepare, Major Weather Change Coming

 Were you out last night to see the full moon rising?  It was called the "Beaver moon" and was quite romantic & beautiful.  In case you missed it, my friend Debbie Deal posted this from her sister-in law's place. Gorgeous!

Of course we all should know what us coming for next week.  Every weathercast is headlining the coldest air of the season is coming for next week.  Here's the NWS forecast.

Yes, they are calling for below freezing weather across the North Shore so those of you with tender plants should get ready to save them before Monday morning.

We still don't see the big upper dip coming over the Great Lakes, but it's coming.

Some clouds have moved inland and will keep temps warmer over night, but all the rain remains off our coast for now.

Even though my house is fore sale, I still have to take care of it.  I will be working with my neighbor, Berndard Baudin, to help get it ready for Winter.  This coming front is not a "run the water" type of front.  after all, we as just into early November, but it's telling us what's coming.  For my podcast subscribers, we will have Bruce Katz on next week.  Tonight, I'll do a brief health update.  Subscribing is easy at bobbreck.com.  Spoke with Meg Gatto today and she'll be on soon.  Stay tuned!
