Oooh, a nice 60 degrees as I write this … that would be nice – the dog days of summer can come to an end anytime throughout much of the rest of the country and I think we’d all be quite happy for it. Anyway – yeah that’s the trend cooler temperatures over the next couple of days and a return to that pesky marine layer. So expect morning clouds/fog and then expect sunshine in the afternoon. That said temperatures wills lightly be on the decline the rest of the week into the weekend. A return to warmer weather is in the cards for early next week yee of little faith.
Here’s a random Emily update for anyone who has an interests in Florida (Disney) weather:
Now for Emily – notice I didn’t even tease her up top. This has got to be the poorest excuse I’ve seen for a tropical system in quite some time – and anytime she tries to get her act together – something stands in her way. The shear has made it so that the storm cannot stack vertically into the atmosphere, which is keep strength down – factor in dry air screwing with the moisture the storm has and well that is a recipe for what we see here. Oh and throw in the fact that she’s about to hit some really tough terrain – it would be a wonder that she makes it past that. Though that’s exactly what the official forecast shows – after interaction with land she should turn away from the US coast (aren’t you glad you didn’t cancel that Disney trip) and then out to sea – but they still show her strengthening into a hurricane before that time … impressive but at this point I’ll believe it when I see it. I am not being a hype monger here but the storm has not taken that turn to the north yet so Florida may still feel the impacts and we’ll know more in the next day or so. That said, I’m not going to harp too much on this storm for much longer – last week at this time it really was something I might have been concerned about for vacationing families but more and more it’s becoming a non issue … so in typical weather fashion this is when the storm will likely spark up into a cat 5 … so I’ll keep watching :-).
