Friday weather update.

No date with Nate!!! As of this morning Tropical storm Nate is still in the southern Gulf of Mexico and all weather models indicate the storm will become a hurricane and then head into Mexico and not pose a threat to the Pine Belt. One must remember that weather is weather and it can change rapidly.

We will track Nate as long as it is in the Gulf and will let you know if any changes in the forecast occur.

The weekend appears to be warm and dry during the day and nice and cool at night.

Very Autumn like weather will persist in the Pine Belt for the next few days with highs in the 80s and lows in the 50s. By the beginning of next week we are expecting temps to return to normal for this time of year with highs back in the lower 90s.

On to the tropics. Tropical storm Maria will likely form today well out in the far eastern Atlantic. Most computer models keep this storm away from the gulf but another system that is currently slowly evolving in the southern Gulf of Mexico may be something that we will have to contend with down the line. It's name will most likely be Nate.

We will keep you posted.

Tuesday weather update.

Sunny and mild weather is on tap for today with highs in the upper 70s. Clear and quite cool for this time of year with lows in the lower 50s. Sunny skies or on tap for the rest of the week with highs mainly in the 80s and lows in the 50s and 60s. Enjoy this weather because it is rare to experience this type of weather in early September.

The tropics remain active and down the line we will have more tropical issues to posssibly deal with.

Tuesday Weather Update.

Our weather will remain dry and hot today and Wednesday but changes are beginning to show up in future forecasts. This morning the weather computer models are indicating that a tropical wave in the western Caribbean will move into the Gulf of Mexico and possibly develop into a tropical storm. Most of the models indicate the system will move towards Texas and that would be great news for them as they are in a severe drought. The system would also pump moisture from the gulf into our area which would increase our rain chances and lower or temps for the upcoming weekend.

We will continue to monitor the system and keep you posted.

Monday weather update.

Our week will start off hot and dry. Highs today though Tuesday will be in the upper 90s. On Wednesday, our highs will be in the mid 90s. The weather pattern will begin to change on Thursday with a chance for a shower or thunderstorm. The Friday though Sunday period looks cloudy with a chance for showers and thunderstorms and that will help keep our highs down to the 90 degree range.

The tropics remain very active with tropical depression number twelve having formed this morning. The system will likely become Tropical Storm Katia today. Katia will likely become a strong hurricane in the Atlantic this week and will possibly pose a threat to the U.S. in 7-10 days.

We are now in the heart of the hurricane season and more hurricanes are likely to develop over the next month or two. Now would be a good time to make sure that you have your plans in action just in case a hurricane threatens our area down the road.

Our weather for this week will be mainly hot and dry.
