Good Thursday everyone-
Today is going to be fantastic- temps in the low 70s and mostly sunny skies! In fact, most of the next 7 days look pleasant, with the possible exception of Sunday as it borders on hot (We may reach the low 80s before a cold front moves through overnight with rain into Monday and shaves 8-10 degrees off the temps). Otherwise, the next 7 days look very similar too this...so I won't bore you with some long discussion.
In the Pacific- A fascinating development could occur today- Tropical storm Odile strengthened a tad as it moved into the Gulf of California. Now for the real fun- can it actually get to Arizona as a full-blown Tropical Storm? I think it might, and if it does it would be only the third time in recorded history that this has ever occurred. Enjoy this anomaly- it probably only happens two or three times in a lifetime. Otherwise, Tropical Storm Polo is about to become a hurricane and it may have some impacts on the Mexican coast, and Tropical Storm watches are up from Zihuatanejo to Cabo Corrientes.
In the Atlantic- After becoming the first major hurricane in the Atlantic in two years yesterday for a few hours, Edouard has entered the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic as a category 1, and it won't be with us for much longer at all. A new tropical wave will try to develop this weekend, but it isn't especially likely.
Today in weather history- September 17, 1988- The head coach of the Alabama Football team declines to fly his team to Texas for their game against Texas A&M due to Hurricane Gilbert, so viewers on ESPN are treated to viewing announcers in an empty stadium...
5 days to Autumn!
