Bride-to Be, Mild Start, Much Colder End OF Week

 On this journey we call life, it is rare that one is lucky to find a true soulmate, a partner that shares everything in your life.  You know each others thoughts & feelings and share each others tastes without even talking about them.  Tom Cruise once used the words "you complete me" to describe that connection.  After Paula died nearly 25 years ago, I feel very blessed to have found my 2nd soulmate in Valerie Adams.  She & her Chuck were married for nearly 40 years before he passed away.  Three weeks from today aboard the Norwegian Cruise Line Breakaway, the Captain will marry Val & I somewhere down in the Gulf of Mexico/America. This weekend Valerie was given a bridal shower by her girls friends.  

 I will welcome her as Mrs. Bob Breck on Nov. 30th, appropriately the final day of the 2026 Hurricane Season!  My son will be doing a podcast of the wedding and all the festivities during the cruise.  They will air the week of December 3-8th.  If you want to see and hear how happy the little fella is, watch him zip line and/or go down the swimming pool slide, go to bobbreck.com and become a subscriber.  By signing up, you will also be ready for the 2027 Hurricane season which already looks to be more active than the past two summers.  

 On a previous FB post, I mentioned the Polar Vortex.  The GFS model is indicating a lobe of that vortex will be dipping over us by late this week bringing down the colder air of this Fall season. The top graphic is today with the middle valid for Friday.

IF that forecast proves correct, overnight lows could dip into the 30s on the Northshore by Sunday & Monday.  Tender plants will need to be protected.  In the short term we stay mild.

In fact, the next 2-3 days will be so nice I'm off fishing with Captain Hylton.

This weekend will require the heavy coats & sweaters along with some logs on the fireplace.  Should be good feel air, as long as you're dressed for it.  Stay tuned!

Nice Feel To Linger, Colder Front Next Friday, Kyle Very Unlikely

 October is my favorite month as fronts start bringing down cooler & drier (good feel) air.  Sometimes we can go through the first 15-20 days of November with similar fronts, not too cold yet.  This weekend is near perfect with that Fall feel to the air courtesy of a front that has dropped well down into the Gulf.

As I mentioned yesterday, this front is NOT the Polar Vortex as the air isn't cold enough nor is the any snow cover except over eastern Canada.  The Polar Vortex is up over the North Pole.

If you look at the snow cover on satellite views, you'll see why southern Canada isn't that cold yet.

Until Canada gets a snow cover, the real cold air is several weeks away from coming to us.  Although our next front next Friday will be colder than this one.  Here's the WPC's forecast position.

Let's just enjoy this transition to cooler weather that will allow our bodies to acclimate to the coming chill.

The rain chances will stay low all week with only a stray shower ahead of that next front. Finally,

There is an area of low pressure east of the Bahamas but the upper wind shear will not allow for any tropical system to form.  Enjoy your Sunday and maybe our Saints can rebound?  Stay tuned!
