Grey-Wet - East .......Nice - West.

9/30/2016

Hurricane Matthew is headed for a Cat 3 storm with over 100 mph winds....south of Haiti. He will continue west then turn north. Most models are taking him away from the N.Carolina coast next week and out to sea....but he needs to be watched carefully. Below....his track by The Hurricane Center.

Below...The GFS Model - valid for late next week - shows Hurricane Matthew off N. Carolina and then it turns it out to sea. Most of the models do that...but hurricanes can do anything and it's too far out to call the shots at this time.

Satellite - radar showing storm in Ohio Valley bringing the wet weather to the east all weekend. Below that....map for Saturday night.

Below...map showing amounts of rain for the weekend.

Wet Weather Increases In The East

Above...map for Friday....not looking too different from tonight.

Tropical system approaching Windwards will get named today...Matthew....and will likely become a major hurricane to affect Haiti- Cuba - and then U.S. next week. First...below...a close up look at this system- still getting it's act together. After that....a look at the various models. All models show this system to become intense.....timing is the problem. The Canadian...fastest and most troublesome....Euro...slowest.
Be safe.

Dry -Cool - West, Wet East

9/27/2016

Cold front moving across East Coast with rain. Showers and cool Great Lakes....wet Texas.

Weather map for Tuesday nite. Stalled front east coast to bring several days of rain there...and much needed. Below...map showing potential of excessive rainfall over next 3 days and possible flooding.

Since weather systems stall....no much change expected into weekend. Below... rainfall projected for next 7 days.

Below...first - look at tropical Atlantic. We are paying attention to system in south central Atlantic that will likely become the next tropical storm then hurricane and be given the name Matthew. This system will need to be watched as we expect it to become a formidable hurricane and could threaten The U.S.

Below...a look at what the models are doing with this tropical system. Order - Canadian....GFS.....Euro. Be safe.

Wet Weather Will Come To The East.....

9/26/2016

Sharp cold front in Midwest will head east and bring some rain
to the East by Tuesday. Upper air storm in Minnesota will
head south and stall and it could bring days of wet -much needed - weather to the East. Below...weather map for this evening showing cold front moving east.

Below...a look at upper air for this Wednesday...showing upper low over Ohio Valley. Following picture is the upper air for this Saturday. Don't see much change ? Exactly...so weather will not change.

Following picture - amount of rainfall into midweek.

Lastly, a look at the tropics. Wave in south central Atlantic is forecast to become a major hurricane by several models and threaten the Eastern Seaboard. Much too early to speculate but needs to be watched. If it does form...it would be given the name....Matthew ! Be safe.
