Nate No Problem for U.S.

Nate appears to be getting stronger, but he's not too far from the Mexican coast and should move inland way south of Brownsville. That's unfortunate since south Texas could use the rain from a weak hurricane. The other system out in the Atlantic(Maria) will follow the track of previous storms this season up the east coast and out to sea. In fact, looking at the long range models there is nothing that appears to get into the Gulf for the next 10-14 days. Since October is only 3 weeks away, I am encouraged that we could be out of danger from a major hurricane threat for this year. October has seen only one (1893) major landfalling hurricane in Louisiana and that came during the first week of the month. I don't see any strong cold fronts coming for awhile so it's way too early to feel totally safe since much of the Gulf is still warm. Stay tuned!

Another beauty today, but the heat will be back next week.
