Good Tuesday, everybody. Gorgeous weather continues out there today as September temps slowly show up. This calm pattern is about to turn it up a few notches as what’s left of Hurricane Francine rolls our way later this week.

Once again, before we look ahead, we have to take a look back at another record setting morning. Temps were even colder Monday morning than what we had Sunday…

Temps won’t be as cold this morning, but readings in the low to mid 40s will be back with us. With sunny sky and low humidity, the rest of the day looks awesome with temps making a run into the upper 70s to low 80s for many.

The nice weather continues into Wednesday before we change it up as what’s left of Hurricane Francine roll our way.

Francine is really coming together and strengthening in the Gulf of Mexico…

Hurricane Warnings are now out across Louisiana as this storm gets set for a late Wednesday landfall. Here’s the latest information and track forecast from the National Hurricane Forecast Center…

I’ve made no changes to my through process on this system with the chance for heavy rain across our region late this week into the weekend…

The operational models differ from one another and change with each run, but the various ensembles are in pretty good agreement. These look a lot like the above map that I made two days ago…

There’s also the potential for a few strong or severe thunderstorms to be spinning around Friday into Saturday. That’s another aspect to this setup for us to watch.

In addition to Francine, there are two more systems of interest well out in the Atlantic…

Have a terrific Tuesday and take care.
