Today is going to be almost perfect, and identical to the last several. First off, my apologies for not updating yesterday, but I was a- in a rush and b- there was no point as the weather was the same as the last several with no end in sight. That has changed today, however, as rain is going to be the prominent feature of the next week or so several times. Exactly when remains to be seen, but know that there are probably 3 days next week that will be strongly impacted by wet weather. It's going to be a great day today and through the weekend as well, so get out there!
In the Atlantic- Tropical Storm Ida continues to sit and spin harmlessly in the same place as before, but it may get a bit more interesting as models are hinting it'll be blocked from going north and forced back to the west. That said, any US impacts remain very unlikely. Additionally, models have been hinting at Gulf development for several days next week, so let's keep an eye on it.
In the Pacific- A low off Mexico will likely develop this weekend, but its' path remains highly uncertain.
Today in weather history- September 24, 2005- Hurricane Rita makes its' final landfall on the border of Louisiana and Texas, doing $12 billion in damage and killing slightly over 100 people. This storm is particularly noteworthy in that it was, at one point, the strongest hurricane in the history of the Gulf of Mexico, a record that still stands (and, frankly, will be very hard to break as hurricanes rarely strengthen that far).
