Discussion

Hurricane Michael made landfall yesterday in the Florida Panhandle as a “major” category 4 system and today it will accelerate to the northeast as a tropical storm. Its tropical moisture field will interact with a strong cold frontal system advancing towards the east coast and the result will be some heavy rainfall today in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast US, but we’ll begin a cooling and drying trend here this afternoon along with some strong wind gusts. In fact, it’ll turn much cooler this evening and overnight lows should bottom out in the middle 40’s by early tomorrow morning. The cool conditions that follow the passage of a cold front will stick around right into the upcoming weekend.
