We bottomed out at 59 degrees this morning, one degree shy of our old record of 58. The cool mornings will last for the next two days before we see an influx of moisture Sunday afternoon. The weather the next few days will be FANTASTIC! Plenty of sun, pleasant temperatures and low humidity. Does it get any better than this in the beginning of September?
Our weather pattern will start shifting Sunday night, as the upper level low spinning over the Ohio River Valley forms into a trough and ejects out of the US. When the trough does form, it will bring enough instability to create a stray shower or two further to our south, near south Georgia/north Florida, where the better moisture is situated.
The 90s will return by Tuesday and linger thru at least Thursday. In the extended period of next Friday and Saturday, it appears the GFS is bringing a front through the Deep South which would bring our highs back into the middle 80s. It would certainly be refreshing, but I want to see a little more consistency before I fully jump on.
The tropics are still active.
Tropical storm Nate is located in the Bay of Campeche with a northwesterly motion of 3 mph. The trough, mentioned above, WILL miss Nate as forecast, thus making Nate to go into Central Mexico Sunday afternoon. I'm still thinking Nate gets to a category 2 before making landfall, but it still has the CHANCE of a Cat. 3. Again, Nate will NOT effect the United States.
Maria is still hanging on to Tropical storm status as of 11AM. It is forecasted to go through the northern Lesser Antilles, as forecast a few days ago, as a tropical storm. It will then pass over Puerto Rico, where they DON'T need to the rain! In fact, they've seen almost 30 inches of rain for July and August ALONE!!! Maria will then track east of the Bahamas, as the trough mentioned a few times already in this post, will kick Maria out to sea!
Thank you,
David Reese
