Today is going to be quite simple- ridiculously cold! In fact, most places won't reach 70 today and be trapped in the high 60s! To make things worse, almost no sun will be seen today, and a chilly shower or two is quite likely. For late August, that is a real wake up call that winter is on the way (especially since current indications are for an abnormally cold and snowy one on the way). By the middle of next week though, we get back in the heater, and we may hit 90 midweek, which would spoil the 90-degree free month of August, so it's worth watching.
In the tropics- The wave has trended east over the last 24 hours, but it's been trending further west recently. See below for the reason the forecast is so tough

As you can see, some models are out to sea, while others try to do (dare I say it?) a redeux of Hurricane Sandy (especially the blue model- the GFDL- that path would be an unmitigated disaster for New York City and Connecticut). It's going to be close...that's all I can say for now. Watch it...
In the Pacific- Lowell did indeed briefly become a hurricane yesterday afternoon...for about six hours. It's back to a tropical storm, and Karina continues to pose no threat to land. Tropical Storm Marie formed yesterday, though, and it is likely to become a major hurricane this weekend, so it's worth watching for our friends in Mexico and the southwest!
