Well, our overnight rainfall turned out as expected. Nothing exciting. The best coverage was across the western half of the region. I recorded a whopping 0.08". The drought continues - at least we did receive the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine.
Dry weather is expected today - couldn't rule out a sprinkle or two. Friday looks amazing. Lower humidity and nice temperatures. The weekend will be warm - but nice.
Next week should bring above normal temperatures. It appears the first month of the fall forecast will verify. Above normal temperatures. Hermine might end up causing some of us to be above normal in the rainfall department. But, we included the tropical threat as a wild card.
The drought conditions across the region - it has been spreading over the last few weeks. You can view the latest drought monitor map below. Click image for large view.
I am starting to become more concerned about tropical threats to the U.S. mainland in the coming weeks. There is a significant risk for impact. The models are on top of this and I see that Joe Bastardi has mentioned the threat in his daily briefings. See no reason to disagree.
Here is a view of Hurricane Igor - this is a forecast model that indicates the storm will strike Bermuda. Click for large image view.
