Weather August 30, 2008

The dueling storms are continuing to develop, but I have no idea where Hanna is going nor how she will interact with Gustav, so I am withholding my prediction. (Actually, I worked very late today at my “REAL” job, so I didn’t have time to do any research. I will study, evaluate and calculate using my protractor, compass, Tarot cards and Ouija board to throw darts at my geographical map of the world and give you a storm forecast tomorrow!)

August 30, 2008: Happy Birthday Mom!!! There will be some sun and possibly some clouds and possibly a thunderstorm in the afternoon. Our highs will remain around 86F and the winds will whip along the beach at 10 to 20 mph from the east-northeast.

Tonight: It is gonna be cloudy with scattered storms likely at 40%. Overnight temperatures should be fairly warm at nearly 78 degrees along the beach, but it will feel a bit cooler if you have your toes in the sand.

Tomorrow: It will still be breezy and showers are possible early, but thunderstorms are more likely later in the day – I know, it is a catch-all. It is Labor Day weekend and you have company in town for a visit – if it rains, the afternoon showers should not last longer than it takes to freshen up for dinner!

Monday: Labor Day – (Raspberries to you!!!) I’m not telling – this is my way of taking a day off!!!

Tuesday: A rebellious storm may confront you, but otherwise, highs in the mid 80s and lows in the mid 70s, with scattered darkness overnight!

Weather August 29, 2008

August 29, 2008: Go ahead and fill up all of your fuel tanks, as gas prices are going to skyrocket!
