There is a weak cold front that will move into the Gulf South this weekend, increasing our rain chances and bringing some cooling relief. But since this is mainly a Hurricane Blog, I begin with yet another Major Hurricane way out in the Pacific. This is Typhoon Dolphin (same as hurricane) with winds of 145 mph, down from 160 mph yesterday. Fortunately, it is many days from affecting any land areas.
Dolphin is tracking north of Guam and could impact Korea or Japan down the road. In the EPAC, Fausto has dissipated, with Genevieve downgraded to a tropical storm as she moves over colder waters. She once was a Cat. 5.
Back in our part of the world, there is a large circulation coming off of Africa, but the Saharan Dust will not allow development.
Several of the AI models are hinting something coming off of Africa in the 10-14 day time frame, but that is too far out to worry about. IF we have any development in the next week, it would have to come closer in along the many boundaries sinking down from the north.
No model shows anything forming & NHC isn't highlighting anything either.
We might be able to sneak a weak frontal boundary over us for this weekend. That would make us less hot as clouds and rain chances increase.
One such boundary is very close to us this afternoon.
Without our daily T-Storms, our highs reach the mid to upper 90s.
Let's hope this weak front makes it close to give us some needed rainfall and relief from the brutal heat. Trust my podcast subscribers enjoyed hearing my opinions about the rest of this hurricane season yesterday. To join us, go to bobbreck.com and sign up. Stay tuned!
