DELIGHTFUL WEATHER: October is known for long periods of beautiful weather, and we sure have one going now. We will stay dry all week with a slow warming trend; we reach the low 80s over the latter half of the week, but the humidity stays low, and nights will be pleasant with lows mostly in the 50s.
WEEKEND PEEK: No reason to see much change over the weekend as dry air stays in place. An upper high well to the north of here will keep the western U.S. trough in place, so expect mostly sunny days and fair nights Saturday and Sunday with a high around 80, and lows in the 50s.
LONG RANGE: Quite frankly the weather still looks benign into early next week; see the Weather Xtreme video for long range ideas.
TROPICS: Ophelia has weakened into a tropical storm near the coast of Newfoundland, and will move into the North Atlantic in coming days. Tropical Storm Philippe will recurve well east of the U.S. and Bermuda, and is no threat to land. The rest of the Atlantic basin remains very quiet.
WEATHER BRAINS: Don’t forget you can listen to our weekly 90 minute netcast anytime on the web, or on iTunes. This is the show all about weather featuring many familiar voices, including our meteorologists here at ABC 33/40. NOTE: We will record this week’s episode tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. CDT for a special NWA annual meeting preview. No show tonight!
CONNECT: You can find me on all of the major social networks…
I will be speaking at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church this morning… look for the next Weather Xtreme video here by 3:30 or so this afternoon. Enjoy the day!
