Not Awful Weather, But Not Pretty Either...

OK, the heat of Summer is gone, but the humidity still lingers.  Oh how we long to have the weather from last weekend when it was sunny and dry.  The problem this past week is we have been in a stuck upper air pattern that has an upper trough over the Rockies and a SW upper flow across the Gulf South.  This will not allow any fronts from coming our way.

The temperatures are not hot anymore, but the 70+ dew points cover all of the Deep South.   The satellite view has widespread cloud cover over most of the central states with the states west of the upper low in the sunshine.

The bottom three graphics are the upper air pattern beginning with today.  The next is valid on Monday when the low lifts out giving us a drier WNW flow. However, by late week, another cut off low forms just to our north.  Hopefully, it will be far enough away to keep the clouds and rain near it.

Radar has spotty showers around, but there are many breaks between them.  The cloud cover is quite extensive so don't expect to see much sunshine tomorrow.  

The Tropics are quiet around us as Sam leaves and Victor just weakens.  So I have to look around for something to talk about.

Most of the western fires are out, except in California.   The good news for them is it appears their rainy season is about to begin.  Of course that will probably mean mud slides?  The other big news is our Saints are in the Dome tomorrow.   Saints 31 Giants 17.  Who Dat!   Stay tuned!
