High pressure will shift off the east coast today and the broad upper-level trough will dig south through the Northern Plains and the Midwest. A strong cold front will push into the region late tonight with some shower activity possible, but it does not appear to be a significant rain event. Much cooler air pushes into the region on Friday as high pressure builds back into the area and frost is possible by early Saturday in some of the normally colder suburban locations.

The remnants of Hurricane “Delta” continue to move away from the Tennessee Valley today and the result will be improving and warmer weather conditions. In fact, the warmer weather will continue into mid-week, but changes are coming after that. High pressure is to remain in control from Wednesday into Thursday, but a strong cold front will usher in a chilly air mass for week’s end and the upcoming weekend. High temperatures should drop about 15 degrees from highs on Thursday afternoon to the highs on Friday.

Hurricane “Delta” is currently a category 3 “major” hurricane on its way for a landfall in southwestern Louisiana early this evening. There is a chance for some weakening of Hurricane “Delta” in the last few hours before landfall – perhaps from a category 3 to a category 2 storm – as it will push over cooler waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico. After landfall, Hurricane “Delta” will weaken quickly; however, its remnants will bring some significant rainfall to the Deep South, Tennessee Valley and as far north and east as the Mid-Atlantic region from Sunday into Monday.

Hurricane “Delta” is likely to make landfall late today in the southwestern part of Louisiana which is the same area that experienced a direct hit by Hurricane ‘Laura” back in mid-August. After Hurricane “Delta” makes landfall, it will weaken quickly and become increasingly influenced by a developing mid-level trough over the south-central US which should cause it to turn to the northeast and this will result in significant rainfall across the Deep South and Tennessee Valley. By the latter part of the weekend, the remains of Hurricane “Delta” are likely to result in a decent rainfall for the Mid-Atlantic region.

Hurricane “Delta” pounded the northeastern part of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula yesterday morning and its encounter with the land mass weakened the tropical cyclone from a category 4 “major” storm to a category 1. Since then, Hurricane “Delta” has moved out over the warm waters of the southern Gulf of Mexico into an area with more favorable atmospheric conditions and has re-intensified into category 2 status with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph. In this favorable environment with low vertical wind shear and deep moisture, Hurricane “Delta” could return to “major” hurricane status (i.e., category 3 or higher) as it churns towards a likely landfall late Friday in the southwestern part of Louisiana. After landfall, Hurricane “Delta” will weaken quickly, but its remnants will bring some significant rainfall to the Deep South, Tennessee Valley and as far north and east as the Mid-Atlantic region by the Sunday/Monday time frame.

Hurricane “Delta” pounded the northeastern part of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula yesterday as a category 2 storm and has now pushed over the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico. After its bump into with the Yucatan Peninsula, Hurricane “Delta” is encountering favorable conditions for intensification as it churns northwest over the still warm waters of the southern Gulf of Mexico in an environment with low wind shear and high moisture content. As such, Hurricane “Delta” is likely to re-intensify into “major” hurricane status as it heads on a path towards the north-central Gulf coast - and perhaps right to the same region that experienced the landfall of Hurricane Laura earlier this tropical season. After landfall likely on Friday, the remains of Hurricane “Delta” are then likely to push to the north and east bringing significant rainfall to the Deep South, Tennessee Valley and perhaps to the Mid-Atlantic region late in the upcoming weekend.

Hurricane “Delta” pounded the northeastern part of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula this morning as a category 2 storm and is now entering the southern part of the Gulf of Mexico.

As such, Hurricane “Delta” is likely to re-intensify into “major” hurricane status as it heads on a path towards the north-central Gulf coast - and perhaps right to the same region that experienced the landfall of Hurricane Laura earlier this tropical season.
