Thanks Arkansas! We hit another big milestone here on the blog a few days ago.... 900,000 hits since July of 2010. I think we should surpass 1 million within the next 2 months. I can't thank you enough for reading our weather blog!
There really hasn't been much to blog about lately and I'm not complaining. We deserve some quiet and nice weather! Usually this is the time of year when we can go back and forth with our temperatures as the seasons fight it out. Cold air has been building at the higher latitudes and the jet stream is getting energized as it battles the remaining hot air of summer. Of course, the cooler air wins eventually, but it results in a temperature roller coaster of sorts. We will warm up to around 90 again next week, but it shouldn't last too long as yet another frontal boundary delivers another shot of pleasant fall air. I took a quick look at the long range GFS numbers and it indicates we'll be back into the 70s for highs by next Thursday
Let's talk about "Nate". On Thursday, there was some concern he would turn north and affect the southern United States. The picture became clearer last night and it appears the storm will make a turn to the west and affect Mexico. I know many in Texas were hoping from rain, but a tropical system can make you go from extreme drought to extreme flooding.

| This is the European model from Thursday night and it's valid for late next Wednesday. This indicates a front pressing through the state with Canadian high pressure building into the Dakotas. This will bring a much cooler easterly to northeasterly wind flow at the surface. Early week temperatures in the 90s will drop 15-20 degrees by Thursday. |

| 24 hours later on Thursday, the high is really building into the state with very nice weather! |

| The Tropical Prediction Center shows Nate moving into Mexico as a Hurricane late in the weekend. |
