9/8- Very nice at last!

Good Monday all-

Today is going to be very nice indeed as low humidity reigns, as does low temperatures. Today is likely to feature nothing but sunshine and around 75-80 degree temperatures. In fact, I find it highly likely that this will continue for most of the week. I can't rule out a scattered shower tomorrow as an off-season nor'easter passes by to our southeast. By Thursday, scattered storms become very possible. By Saturday, however, get those fall jackets ready! In fact, we may even fail to reach 70! It is the first few days of that crisp fall air that we all know and love, so be ready for it!

In the Atlantic- A tropical wave near the Cape Verde's is probably about to become Tropical Storm Edouard in the next 5 days, but the odds currently favor an out to sea track

In the Pacific- Norbert finally dissipated this morning, but a new disturbance is probably about to become Tropical Storm Odile (an odd name indeed)

Today in weather history- September 8, 1900- The unarguable worst weather disaster in American history occurs as a category 3 hurricane hits Galveston, Texas. The storm surge of over twenty feet trashes the entire city of over 100,000, and kills 7 to 10 thousand people. It really led into the storm surge aware era that we are in today.
