A Rain Free Weekend?

I, like many of you, wondered wasn't this supposed to be a sunny & dry weekend with lower humidity? Since I was not working lastThursday & Friday, I can only guess what happened to the forecast. Friday was great..sunny, breezy almost hot, but with low humidity as we had NE winds. That changed on Saturday as the surface winds shifted to the ESE allowing some low level moisture to return. Add in daytime heating and typical summer-like afternoon showers developed. Same story today except the showers seemed to be more widespread across the southshore. I'm not sure how so many could have been so wrong? It seems no one was willing to go against the computer models that predicted no rain.

Speaking of computer models...they're doing it again...trying to form a tropical disturbance over the southern Gulf by Wednesday and then moving it into Texas. Recall last week's TD that went into Florida. Computer models predicted it could be a hurricane off the mouth of the Miss. River. As I continue to preach...until "it" forms, I will not speculate where "it" might go or how strong "it" might become, because "it" might NEVER come.

Finally, 2 more named storms over the weekend...if you were watching satellite pictures. Neither of these systems would have beeen named before the era of modern satellites. Remember tomorrow is October 1st and the chances for any kind of hurricane landfalling in Louisiana begins to taper off daily. November has NEVER had a landfalling hurricane cross the LA. coastline. We gotta start getting those real cold fronts coming so we can have the FAT Lady sing..."turn out the lights, the "party's" over."
