6:15 AM | *Frontal passage on Wednesday to sweep away the entrenched moist maritime air mass...nice stretch of weather from Thursday through Sunday*

Paul Dorian

The next couple of days will remain unsettled with an upper-level trough hanging nearby and the continuation of a moist, low-level onshore flow of air. The pattern will change at mid-week with the passage of a cool frontal system that will kick the moist, maritime air mass out of here, and sunshine should return for the latter part of the week and upcoming weekend. Temperatures will remain on the cool side during the next couple of days limited by an abundance of clouds and the persistent onshore flow of air; however, they’ll return to comfortably warm levels later in the week with the return of abundant sunshine.

*September ends with plenty of tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin...a look back on the tropical season so far...a recap of Helene, and a look ahead*

Paul Dorian

Hurricane Helene made landfall on Thursday night as a category 4 “major” hurricane near Florida’s Gulf coast town of Perry and then pushed north through Georgia before grinding to a halt over the Tennessee Valley. Tremendous rainfall fell over the southern Appalachians as the result of strong and persistent upsloping winds associated with Hurricane Helene with as much as two feet in some spots and flooding was extreme. The month of September comes to an end with plenty of tropical activity to monitor in the Atlantic Basin and another system is destined for the Gulf of Mexico by this weekend or early part of next week. The tropical season in the Atlantic Basin has now resulted in 11 named tropical storms with four hurricanes having made landfall in the US, and there certainly may be other opportunities to add onto those numbers.

7:00 AM | *Mid-week frontal passage to finally kick out moist, maritime air mass that has been stuck in the Mid-Atlantic region*

Paul Dorian

The first half of the week remains somewhat unsettled with an upper-level trough hanging nearby, a continuation of moist low-level onshore flow, and a daily threat of showers. The pattern will change at mid-week with the passage of a cool frontal system that will kick the moist, maritime air mass out of here and sunshine should rule later in the week. Temperatures in general will remain on the cool side limited by an abundance of clouds and persistent onshore flow during the next few days and will return to comfortably warm levels later in the week with the return of abundant sunshine.

7:00 AM | **Very warm today with possible record breaking high temperatures in some spots...much cooler by late tonight following cold frontal passage**

Paul Dorian

Today will be another very warm day across Colorado with record highs on the table in some spots. A cold front passes through the area tonight and late night temperatures will become noticeably cooler. The rest of the week looks to be dry with comfortable temperatures and with the likely rain-free conditions, the chance for wildfires will be on the increase.

7:00 AM | *A quiet and warm week in store for the Tennessee Valley...another tropical threat looms for the Gulf of Mexico*

Paul Dorian

The remnants of tropical storm Helene will continue to drift away early this week and we’re setting up for a quiet and warm week with minimal chances for shower activity. There are signs for another tropical storm system to make it into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend or early next week as the at least the first part of October will continue to feature much in the way of tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin.

6:15 AM | **The combination of tropical moisture, persistent onshore flow, and an upper-level low will result in a daily threat of showers right through the first half of next week**

Paul Dorian

Hurricane Helen came ashore last night near Perry, Florida as a category 4 “major” hurricane and is now pushing through Georgia as a downgraded “tropical storm”. While the remnants of Hurricane Helene will never make it this far north, some of its tropical moisture field will combine with an upper-level low to produce occasional showers around here during the next few days and some of the rain can be heavy at times. In fact, the upper-level low will be such a slow-mover that the unsettled weather conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region will continue all the way through the first half of next week with the threat of showers on each day.

6:15 AM | ***Hurricane Helene came ashore last night near Perry, Florida as a category 4 "major" storm...impacts Georgia and Alabama into the weekend***

Paul Dorian

Hurricane Helene pushed ashore last night near Perry, Florida as a category 4 “major” hurricane and is now pushing through Georgia as a downgraded “tropical storm”. It will bring strong winds and heavy rain to Georgia and also to portions of Alabama on Friday and Friday night. The remnants of the hurricane will push northward through much of the day and then will be forced to turn north and west and towards the Middle Mississippi Valley region due to very strong “blocking” high pressure to the north over Canada. Excessive rainfall amounts can spread throughout much of the southern Appalachians as upsloping winds will enhance upward motion and likely result in some tremendous amounts of rainfall.
