Rainy Pattern Returns, No Cold Front In Sight...

We were spoiled by getting a real cold front through us in September as if there were more coming.  Not to be as it appears the first 10-14 days of October will be summer like with some spotty showers.  In fact, as we close out September, an upper low over the Rockies is sending several upper disturbances across the southern states triggering rounds of tropical rainfall.

Cold air has moved into Montana with snow falling at the higher elevations.  However, we're back in the soupy 70+ dew points for the next few days with more rainy spells coming.

The clouds and rain do keep us less hot, but I long for the weather we enjoyed over the weekend. As you can see, the seven day shows no relief coming.

The Tropics around us remain quiet with no model indicating any formation in the Gulf or Caribbean for the next 7-10 days.  All the action is far out into the Atlantic and is projected to stay there.

I'm feeling better each day that our tropical threats are over for this year.  However, the sting of Zeta last October has me delaying calling the "Fat Lady".  Let's be cautious this year.  Stay tuned!
