On this Labor Day weekend, the northern Gulf is enjoying a very nice afternoon as showers are confined along the coast & offshore, and lower dew points have given us a good feel to the air despite being 90+. Not only don't we have a Tropical threat this weekend, but no one else does either. I mean, no one. Here's the views from around the World.
We have one weak Tropical Storm in the EPAC, but to have ZERO Hurricanes/Typhoons anywhere at the peak of the hurricane season? What is going on? Remember, the alarmists told us a warming atmosphere (Global warming) would give us stronger & more frequent storms. Humm? I don't have an answer, except let's keep it that way for another couple of weeks. Even if we get active in October, fronts start coming, and hurricanes don't like cold air. Currently, only the EPAC has a named storm. (Kiko)
NHC is highlighting a large area for possible development out across the central Atlantic as the Saharan Dust layer is weakening. Several models do make it a storm for later this week. All early signs indicate it will make the turn to the north long before threatening the U.S. There is another boundary across the northern Gulf, but no model has anything forming.
The upper Eastern Trough is expected to hang around for another 10-14 days, and that NW upper flow will block any storms from us.
Temperatures over most of the nation are delightful on this Labor Day weekend. We even have dew points in the 60s to near 70. It's still hot, but it doesn't feel so bad.
We'll pick up doing a podcast tomorrow night, focusing on the East Atlantic, where Gabrielle is likely to form. For just $2/month, you can subscribe to hear & see me again. Go to bobbreck.com and click on podcast. Enjoy your Labor Day and stay tuned!
