A Warm Fall Day

For today, there will be mainly sunny skies in the morning then a mix of sun and clouds. The afternoon high will be in the upper 80’s. For tonight, we’ll have areas of clouds as a cold front moves into the area. The low will be near 68. I don’t see much of a chance for showers or storms with the front. The cold front will pass through the area early on Friday morning. For Friday, there will be mostly sunny skies with highs remaining warm in the upper 80’s. Saturday and Sunday will feel more like fall with highs in the lower 80’s and lower humidity.

Tropics:

Tropical Storm Karen:

Karen is looking less organized this morning. There is some upper level wind shear pushing the storms away from the center of circulation. Karen has winds of 65 mph, and is 950 miles east of the Windward Islands. The computer models continue to show Karen to turn north over the next five days.

Tropical Depression #13:

TD #13 has not strengthened over the last 24 hrs. The depression is drifting west towards the coast of Mexico. TD #13 should make landfall early Saturday in Mexico.

We have passed the peak of hurricane season, and now we are seeing the most activity all season long. There are a few more areas that have potential to develop over the next few days. We will be watching those areas for development into the weekend.
