Edouard briefly Cat. 3. Its hard to believe (after all the Alarmists predictions for more numerous & intense hurricanes) that we finally saw a major (Cat. 3) hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. You have to go back to Sandy in 2012 when she was a Cat. 3 south of Cuba. The lack of storm activity (5 Names) in the Atlantic contrasts to the eastern Pacific where they have had 16 named storms with 7 of them reaching major status! That is very typical. When one basin is active, the other is not. So lets hope this trend/pattern continues into October. I was thinking wed see several late September REAL cold fronts, but that appears unlikely for the next 7-10 days. We need the east coast upper trough to return and computer models are not predicting that. In fact, they are keeping most of the lower 48 states warm with the winter-like cold bottled up in Canada. When the dip in the jet stream does arrive in early October, well be running for our sweaters & jackets. Stay tuned! locally, we should see far fewer showers around the next several days. Drier but not cooler! Bob Breck
