It finally appears we'll see the first named storm of September later this week. NHC has designated Invest 92 L way out in the Atlantic so computer models can be run. Just saw a graphic on TWC that showed NO storm that has formed that far out this late in September ever impacted the U.S. coastline. That should be the case too with soon-to-be-named Gabrielle.
As you can see, all models recurve 92 L north of the Virgin Islands and away from the U.S. IF we are to see a Gulf threat this season, it will come from the Western Caribbean or southern Gulf.
There is nothing there now, and no model has anything there for the next 10-14 days. That gets us to October when fronts start coming. The Carolina low is still there, but it's more like a winter-time low.
There are no storms around the centers, with all storms to the west & north. Luckily, the heaviest are staying off the coast, but the ocean is a rocking.
Even though this system is not likely to get a name, it is having some impacts to the Outer Banks of N.C. So when will our weather ever change?
Not until that East Coast upper low moves out, as we still have an "Omega Block" pattern locked in place. That's preventing any fronts from coming our way.
Another day of few showers means temps back 90+.
The extended offers little hope for relief through the next 7 days. So I've been working on guests for my new Podcast, and I'm happy to announce Jim Cantore is coming soon.
But you will not be able to hear or see me & Jim talk about his past, present & future unless you subscribe to my podcast at bobbreck.com. The cost is only $2/month, and the coming guests are priceless. Give me a try, & if there is a hurricane threat in the Gulf, my podcast supplements my daily WVUE Facebook post. Stay tuned!
