Hurricane Ida, Say it isn't So!!

Hurricane Ida is heading into the Gulf of Mexico and is a category 2 but will run into a low pressure system so it shouldn't be a hurricane by the time it reaches land in the North Gulf, near New Orleans. They could be in for coastal flooding as the system moves north it is pushing the water with it and depending on the tides, could be minor, could be major flooding. In St. Petersburg we will most likely have very windy conditions, rain would be nice but it depends on which track Ida takes. For you surfers, and I mean the ones that really know what they are doing, the Pacific coast is the place to be, 20 to 30 foot waves from Seattle down to Northern California. Back to St. Petersburg and it is unseasonable warm, it is 80 degrees with high humidity and gusty winds. The week ahead looks much the same, possible record highs, UGH!
Anyone out there having pleasant fall weather? Would love to hear about it.

  1. Up here in Vermont we're having temps of 30's during the night and 50's to low 60's during the day. Pretty nice for November and no snow yet. My wife and I are hoping for a mild winter but I do want a white Christmas.

  2. 30's eeeeeeeey! That's pretty chilly! Hope you have the fire place cranked up and your wool socks on. Cool front coming thru next 24hrs. Thank goodness. Feels like we haven't even had fall yet!
