What a change in air mass overnight. When I went to sleep at around 11pm it was 26C in my house (after a high close to 30C Saturday and Sunday) and about 23C outdoors. Woke up to a howling wind at 3am and it was 14C outside and 17C inside, blanket weather. Some signs the seasons are changing, the dew is heavy every night now, it gets dark by 8pm, the trees are beginning to change color, I can't believe that! And lastly the squirrels on my property are gathering the acorns every morning. They have been so busy knocking them off the trees and gathering them up. I have never noticed so much activity by them in August before. Not sure what It means, but we better get ready, just in case.
Here is a Tropical Storm Fay update. The system has been downgraded to a tropical depression after saturating the southeast and Gulf coast states with rain. Over 25 inches fell in Melbourne Beach, Florida with 10-15 inches across the rest of the gulf region. Flooding is severe and widespread. Fay is expected to begin slowly drifting north. This morning she is located 75 miles south of Jackson, Mississippi. We can expect some rain from the remnants by Thursday. In the meantime a NOAA Recon plane is expected to fly into some disturbed weather near Jamaica today. A system is showing strong indications it will become Gustav within the next couple of days. Well we get rid of one and here comes the next storm!
