That is happening here. The only good news is that there is no sign of a real freeze for at least the next week or two. Maybe we can avoid one this winter!

Stan Blazyk commented on More rain, a weak cold front and a possible disturbance in the Gulf
Latest model forecasts show the system headed mostly for the New Orleans area. It may actually be a pretty decent weekend for us. If the disturbance does develop, it may create some nice swells for the surfers.
Stan Blazyk commented on Next front will bring a real touch of autumn, but the change, again, will be brief

Stan Blazyk commented on A hot outlook and an active Tropics
Yes, it would be nice. I am more than ready for a true fall pattern to set in!
Stan Blazyk commented on Local forecast and Tropical Outlook characterized by a lot of “ifs”
Thanks, Ray. By the way, the intermediate (2 week) outlook from GFS has moved the high a little further east, which would decrease our risk a little from storms coming across the Atlantic.....but still far too soon to tell....so I will keep an eye on this factor as we move into September.…
