August 25, 2010: Cooler weather! Drought continues...

August 25, 2010

Good morning!

Cooler weather is arriving for our region.  Words that everyone has been waiting to hear for weeks on end.  Now, don't think that just because we experience a few days of cooler weather that summer is over.  It is not.  We will have more heat in the coming days/weeks.  But, for now - let's enjoy the cooler temperatures.

I still believe and am forecasting that the worst heat is behind us.  Still some hot days ahead.  I am more concerned about the upcoming fall fire season that the return of hot weather.  Dry weather - stronger winds = fire danger.

Your seven day forecast can be viewed here.

The 8-14 day forecast indicates normal to above normal temperatures.  It also, unfortunately, is still showing below normal precipitation.  We need rain - desperately. 

As expected, the tropics have come back to life.  We are tracking several systems in the Atlantic.  Also watching the Gulf of Mexico.  For the most up to the minute tropical information you can visit the National Hurricane Center's web-site here.
