The reason for our weather change is a deep upper low over the Great lakes that brought a cool front down off our coast. Unfortunately, the chill won't last as an upper ridge will allow the heat to return later this week. We are NOT done with Summer.
Look at those 50s & 60s degree dew points! They will hang around at least into Thursday with the muggies back for this weekend.
The top satellite view shows all the smoke from the western fires coming our way. It could make for some hazy skies here. Many of the western states have been getting lots of rain showers and that should help smother some of the fires.
Rain chances should stay low until late Friday into this weekend. Now on to the Tropics.
Typically, I would begin with the Tropics, but they have stayed quiet despite many wanting to say they are about to explode. NHC is following two areas way out in the Atlantic that hint of rotation. But both systems lack T-Storms with any organization. The Canadian model does take the first system westward into the eastern Gulf for NEXT Wednesday, But where have we seen that before?
Models have been overly aggressive in the 10-14 day time frame all season. Until I see the other models latch on to this solution, I am not concerned. The Caribbean remains quiet while there are disorganized storms over the southern Gulf. For now, our Tropical Dream Season continues. Stay tuned!

One local meteorologist recently said that the "peak" of hurricane season was September 15. I wrote to her to ask what happened to September 10. She replied to my question, telling me that new data moved the date. Every other meteorologist on tv, regardless of station still uses 9/10. Can you provide a definitive comment on whether or not the traditional date has been changed? If you could mention your answer in a blog I would be able to see it.
