Due to the improvement in satellite technology, NHC is able to see stuff that years ago would go unnoticed. With the MDR and Caribbean shut down due to wind shear & Saharan dust, Satellites found a well-defined swirl way out over the Atlantic. It's been designated Tropical Depression # 6, but will soon become Tropical Storm Fay based on what I'm seeing on the infrared color loop. We begin wide to show you where TD 6 is located.
This system will never affect the United States, so we look closer to home.
With the Upper Heat Dome lingering for another 5-7 days and upper lows dominating the Gulf, I see no tropical development for the next 7-10 days. That almost gets us to October when we know fronts will start coming.
Most of Canada is in the 40s & 50s with some 30s farther to the north, especially into Alaska. I suspect, since we have seen the hottest summer nationwide, October will see a flip to much colder weather. But not right away.
The Fall Equinox happens at 7:04 PM on Tuesday despite what the above graphic says. We should start really feeling the better air once into October. Stay tuned!
