Hints of Fall on the Horizon

Well... summer certainly flew by fast this year.. probably more so than other years, being that we really didn't have much summer like weather. In fact, September might end up being the best weather of the summer, eventhough, most people pretty much consider it over around Labor Day.

Now that Fall has arrived, we'll be having a lot of those cool nights and comfortable days. This weekend will feature some typical fall weather, especially Saturday. Many of our friends to the north of us will likely get their first frost or freeze of the season.

We do have something rather significant to keep an eye on for Tuesday. We've got a pretty powerful storm that will develop over the lakes states and move into Canada. This will create a very tight pressure gradient and we will likely have some issues with wind... might be looking at advisory criteria.. we'll have to watch it closely. Some higher elevation areas of New England have a shot at some snow flurries as well.

Winter is not too far away. As we head into the winter, keep it tuned to my blog. I'll have detailed analysis of major winter weather events.

Nice Start - Ugly Finish

After the summer we had, it's nice to be getting some of these sunny and warm days. Enjoy it while you can, because the weather will be going down hill again on Wednesday. After a few days of temperatures around 80, the bottom will drop out again and we set up for a weather pattern similar to last week. This is typical stuff to have some wild temperature swings this time of year, as we transition to the fall season. However, if you want to hold on to hope for a stretch of Indian Summer weather, there is some good news. Long range weather patterns are showing a nice stretch of sunny and warm weather for the last few weeks of September. We'll have to wait and see if this comes to fruition, but certainly the potential is there. It should be noted that while we may experience some nice late-September weather, the west may see some cool and unsettled weather, and yes, dare I say the "S" word.. that is a distinct possibility across the Rockies as we head into the next few weeks.

Unsettled Weather on the Way

Well... after a really good run of weather around here, it looks like it's going to come to an end later this week. It will really feel like fall on Thursday with a cool northeasterly breeze, along with rain. It does look like things get better in time for the weekend, but with a slow moving system, it can be a bit unpredictable. Next week looks like a return to nice weather.

The Beat Goes On

The great stretch of weather we've been having continues on for a good part of this week. We may finally get some rain by the end of the week, but it's certainly been a good run of weather after a rather miserable summer.

In other news, the tropics have quieted down considerably. We are in the peak time of the tropical season, so a close eye is still warranted.

Enjoy the holiday!

Hurricane Jimena

Category 5, Hurricane Jimena, is packing winds of 155 MPH. It might have some devastating impact on the Baja Peninsula of Mexico in the next few days. It is also not moving very quickly. This is a bad situation as storm surge and flooding will also be a huge concern.
