Awesome Octobers...

As we transition from watching the Tropics to awaiting the first Polar Express, I'm reminded that October is often the most comfortable month with little rainfall and moderate temperatures. Gone is the beastly heat of Summer and it's too soon for the biting chill of Winter. However, there are signs that a deep trough will develop over the Great Lakes next week bringing down the coldest air so far to the Gulf South. This week's highs in the 80s may struggle to top 70 next Wed-Thursday. If you haven't changed out your wardrobe yet, this weekend is the time.

In the short term, the area of low pressure that stalled over the FL Panhandle keeping us in unexpected clouds today will lift out for Wed. bringing back sunshine and highs in the 80s. A weak front might trigger a shower near dawn Thursday before drier air filters in behind it giving us another spectacular weekend. Enjoy!
