wolfie09 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Sizzle Sizzle.. Not much of a front huh? Lol Dewpoints did lower about 7°-10° which is something I guess..Hit 83° earlier, down a degree since.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 NWS lowered forecasted temps all week with Sunday being the only day in the 80s..Last 3 days of the forecast period 70-72 with DPs in the 50s, my kind of weather.. Expansive high pressure will extend from Hudson Bay to the Great Lakes region during the period. This will provide generally fair weather, and a refreshing change in the air mass with dew points dropping into the 50s and daytime highs in the 70s during the latter half of the week. Overall good model agreement with above average forecast confidence. The only potential concern is Wednesday when tropical remnants will pass nearby to our south and east and could potentially clip southern portions of the forecast area. However, the majority of model guidance keeps our area rain-free with this risk relatively low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I know its a bit early and dramatic but this setup in the Gulf is ideal for explosive deepening. I have to think a cat 5 is fully on the table at this point. I'd be getting the F out of NOLA ASAP. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cny rider Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We just got home from Iceland. Amazing place to visit if you love being outdoors, hiking, and beautiful scenery unlike anything else you have ever seen. We saw lava erupting out of the active volcano. Here's a shot of a really cool cloud that was rolling in continuously from the fjord to our right, then dissipating as it went down the valley and then got lifted by the mountains. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t wait to get there. We were supposed to this year but canceled because of covid. Pain in the ass getting there when you can’t fly out of Toronto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceland remains my all time favorite trip. So diverse, around every corner is a breathtaking view. I would love to go back in winter to see the northern lights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura was a cat 5 last year and didn’t have too much damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hassles involved now with getting tested here, and then getting tested there so you can get back in to the US but it all went smoothly for us. When you get the opportunity again go for it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to go back in winter to see the northern lights. The lights are just starting to be visible now at the end of August. Unfortunately we did not have any clear nights while we were there. The way their photoperiod changes this time of year is remarkable. We were there for 11 days and in that time they lost about an hour of daylight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is deepening earlier, it might happen closer to the coast and knock it down to cat 4 when it hits. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Finally starting to see a drop wrt DPs and temp but it's still 68° out, DP 59°.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Cold front that came through today returns as a warm front sometime this weekend, possible heat advisories Sunday.. Meanwhile temperatures will continue to range above normal and together with the higher humidity could lead to another round of heat advisories on Sunday. Another CF approaches Monday which should give us a pleasant week for the most part.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
