 Central cold fronts and Danny M. Ressler, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Aug. 27, 2009 1:27 pm ET South | Other than slightly increased surf and a continued heightened rip current threat, Danny?s effects on the Southeast Coast should be minimal as it passes well east of the Outer Banks Friday night. Meanwhile, two upper-level disturbances, one moving into the Southeast and a second moving into the lower Mississippi Valley will trigger scattered thunderstorms from parts of parched southern Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana eastward to the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida all day Friday. A cold front will lag back in Arkansas and north Texas. Highs Friday will range from upper 60s and 70s in the southern Appalachians to the low 100s in southernmost Texas. On Saturday as the cold front presses farther into the lower Mississippi Valley, thunderstorms will develop from Tennessee to the northern Gulf Coast and Florida. On Sunday, the cold front will push into the Southeast and the northern Gulf with thunderstorms extending from eastern Tennessee and North Carolina to the northern Gulf Coast and Florida. By Monday and Tuesday, the cold front will stall from the coastal Carolinas to Florida. As the heat eases in Texas, a pleasant air mass will follow the cold front into the Deep South. By early week, low temperatures will be in the 50s from Arkansas to northern Georgia and the western Carolinas with highs in the 70s and lower 80s. Midwest | Two cold fronts will join forces in the Mississippi Valley Friday. While the Plains clear out, thunderstorms will continue to develop from parts of Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Highs Friday will range from the upper 50s and low 60s around western Lake Superior to the low and mid 80s in the Ohio Valley and parts of the central Plains. On Saturday, as the cold front pushes through the eastern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, any lingering showers and thunderstorms will be increasingly confined to northern Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. Cooler air will dip morning lows into the 40s across parts of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Highs Saturday will range from the 50s around Lake Superior to the low 80s in western Kansas. Except for a few showers around the Great Lakes Sunday and scattered thunderstorms in parts of the Plains early week, the region should be dry. Morning lows could dip into the 30s in parts of the Upper Midwest away from the Lakes early week. Northeast | North of a stalled front in the Mid-Atlantic, northern New York and northern New England will start Friday with some scattered frost. Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop across the Mid-Atlantic and begin to push northward into Upstate New York and southern New England later in the day. Highs Friday will range from between 65 and 75 north of the front to between 75 and 85 south of the front. Saturday into early Sunday, Danny will approach and then possibly brush past eastern New England. An area of high pressure to the north of Danny could aid in upping the winds along coastal New England. How close Danny will come is still unclear, but along with increased surf, rip currents and coastal flooding issues, heavy rains and strong winds are possible. Showers and thunderstorms will continue over the rest of the region as a cold front pushes in from the west. Highs Saturday will range from the upper 50s in northern Maine to the low 80s in Virginia. By Sunday, Danny will likely be extra-tropical in the Canadian Maritimes but the eastbound cold front will still be producing showers and thunderstorms over most of the region. Monday and Tuesday, the region will be drying out and temperatures will be on the cool side. West | A small piece of the big storm in the northern Pacific will edge into the Pacific Northwest Friday, popping showers and a few thunderstorms from the Cascades and Siskiyou to the coast. Otherwise the West will end the workweek dry. Highs Friday will range from the 60s and 70s in the showers west of the Cascades to the 80s in Montana, the 90s in Idaho?s Snake River Valley and between 105 and 120 in the Desert Southwest. Once onshore, the upper-level disturbance that broke away from the Pacific storm will wander from the Pacific Northwest into the Rockies by early week, popping an increasingly wider area of thunderstorms. |

Hey Zaudy...did you start the Kim Zimmer says Goodbye thread or did Reva?
Anyhoo, I got an email via Nabble from it... and when I went on it... it had been deleted? "Nabble This thread has been deleted. Please contact Nabble Support if you need help." Got any idea what happened?    "The problem with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat."

hokay...no problem.... I sent the message to TPTB and they said that you had deleted it...but I didn't think you would do that.... I think there are a lot of SNAFU's going on here that have nothing to do with you or me. Ghosts in the machinery...that kind of thing.
Anyway how the hell are ya....and how's the weather? The east coast is bracing for yet another hurricane eh?

 Downpours M. Ressler, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Aug. 28, 2009 5:55 am ET South | Tropical Storm Danny remains weak and disorganized so any effects on the Southeast coast will likely be minimal. Elsewhere, 2 weather systems will combine to produce scattered thunderstorms today from southern Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana eastward to the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. A frontal boundary will hold back in Texas and Arkansas but a push of Canadian air will sweep down into the northern Gulf of Mexico by the end of the weekend. Highs today will range from upper 60s and 70s in the southern Appalachians to the low 100s in southern Texas. On Saturday as the cold front presses farther into the lower Mississippi Valley, thunderstorms will develop from Tennessee to the northern Gulf Coast and Florida. On Sunday, the cold front will push toward the Gulf resulting in thunderstorms extending from eastern Tennessee and North Carolina to the northern Gulf Coast and Florida. By Monday and Tuesday, the cold front will stall from the coastal Carolinas to Florida. As the heat eases in Texas, a pleasant air mass will follow the cold front into the Deep South. By early week, low temperatures will be in the 50s over parts of Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. Midwest | Parts of the Midwest will get a healthy taste of fall over the next few days. Before the much cooler air becomes established, look for continuing thunderstorms from parts of Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley today. Locally flash flooding downpours are possible. Highs today will range from the upper 50s and low 60s around western Lake Superior to the low and mid 80s in the Ohio Valley and parts of the central Plains. On Saturday, as the cold front pushes through the eastern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley there will only be a few showers and thunderstorms over northern Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. Cooler air will dip morning lows into the 40s across parts of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Highs Saturday will range from the 50s around Lake Superior to the low 80s in western Kansas. Except for a few showers around the Great Lakes Sunday and scattered thunderstorms in parts of the Plains early week, the region should be dry as August transitions into September. Morning lows could dip into the 30s in parts of the Upper Midwest away from the Lakes on Monday and Tuesday. By midweek, showers and thunderstorms will be back in the Mississippi Valley. Northeast | Thanks to an east-west front stalled across the region, showers and thunderstorms will prevail across the Mid-Atlantic and begin to push northward into Upstate New York and southern New England by this evening. Highs today will range from between from the 60s to mid 70s in northern sections of the region to the 80s in the Middle Atlantic area. Saturday into early Sunday, a weak Danny will approach and then possibly brush past eastern New England. The main heavy rain maker for New England will actually be the remains of the upper-level low tracking up the coast from out of the Southeast. The tightening of the pressure gradient between high pressure to the north and the approach of Danny will increase winds over New England Saturday. Showers and thunderstorms will continue over the rest of the region as a cold front pushes in from the west. Highs Saturday will range from the upper 50s in northern Maine to the low 80s in Virginia. By Sunday, Danny will likely be extra-tropical in the Canadian Maritimes but the eastbound cold front will still be producing showers and thunderstorms over most of the region. Look for cooler and drier conditions to usher in the new week. West | A fizzling front and upper-level low will slide into Pacific Northwest resulting in a few thunderstorms from the Cascades and Siskiyou to the coast today. Otherwise, rest of the West will be dry and quite warm. Highs today will range from the 60s and 70s in the showers west of the Cascades to the 80s in Montana, the 90s in the lower elevations of Idaho and between 105 and 120 in the Desert Southwest. The upper-level low will wander slowly eastward through the Northwest this weekend and early next week, popping thunderstorms in the Rockies and parts of the high Plains. |

 Danny remains weak M. Ressler, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Aug. 28, 2009 11:09 am ET ATLANTIC Tropical Storm Danny continues to weaken well off the Southeast U.S. Coast. As of 11 a.m. Friday, the center of Tropical Storm Danny was located 350 miles south of Cape Hatteras, NC. Danny continues to struggle in a hostile environment, with an upper-level trough to the north and west, and shearing winds overtop the system. Recent reports from a Hurricane Hunter Aircraft indicate Danny is barely holding on the tropical storm status, with the maximum winds at 40 mph to the northeast of the center of circulation. Danny is moving northwest near 10 mph. It should make a turn to the north and north-northeast later today into Saturday, while accelerating, as an upper-level trough deepens over the Central U.S. Elevated surf and rip currents are already impacting areas from the northeast coast of Florida to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and this will continue through tonight. Increased surf and rip currents will spread toward the southern New England coast tonight into Saturday. There remains uncertainty in the forecast track but in any case Danny should remain weak. For now, as a precaution, the National Hurricane Center has posted a tropical storm watch for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Assuming Danny can hold together, it would potentially make its closest approach to the Outer Banks tonight bringing a period of windy weather and perhaps heavier showers. Saturday and Saturday evening it could make a closer approach to eastern New England bringing a chance for heavier squalls and gusty winds there, before quickly exiting into the Canadian Maritimes Saturday night and Sunday. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, a well developed tropical wave was located about 450 miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. This wave continues to show signs of becoming better organized, and it could become a tropical depression at any time, while moving west. For now, it is of no threat to land. EASTERN PACIFIC An area of disturbed weather continues just off the western Mexico coast, a few hundred miles southeast of Acapulco, Mexico. Conditions remain favorable for continued organizing and development, and it could become a tropical depression at any time. If this were to occur it would move west-northwest, potentially impacting parts of the western Mexico coast. Another area of disturbed weather was located about 850 miles south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This area could also become a tropical depression at any time, but would likely track west and be no threat to any land. |

 Northeast washout Tom Moore, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Aug. 28, 2009 8:09 pm ET Northeast | The Northeast will be under assault from a variety of weather systems. To the west is a trough of low pressure aloft. Another trough is sweeping up from the Southeast US. Tropical Storm Danny is weak but may contribute to the overall misery on Saturday. With high pressure to the north and low pressure (Danny) moving up from the south, east to southeast winds will strengthen over New England with wind gusts up to(or greater than)tropical storm strength possible. Much of the rest of the Northeast will feature periods of heavy rain. Localized flooding is also possible. Highs Saturday will range from the upper 50s in northern Maine to the 80s in Virginia. Danny will move away quickly to the Canadian Maritimes on Sunday but a cold front moving in from the west will still be producing scattered showers and thunderstorms over parts of the region. Monday and Tuesday with the front stalled just southeast of the region, periods of rain could develop across the southern Mid-Atlantic, southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. South | Saturday will feature thunderstorms from the Carolinas to around the Gulf Coast as a cold front slowly approaches the South. Behind the front, Oklahoma, most of Texas, Arkansas and western Tennessee will be dry. Highs Saturday will range from near 80 in northern Tennessee to around 100 in southern Texas. Sunday through Tuesday, the front may hang around the Southeast, producing several days of scattered showers and thunderstorms while the rest of the South will be dry. Morning lows in the 50s will dip southward into Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama by Monday and Tuesday. Highs will be cool; with readings in the 70s will extend into the Tennessee Valley, southern Appalachians and North Carolina. Midwest | The northern Great Lakes area will be cool and unsettled this weekend as an impressive area of low pressure aloft sets up shop over the area. Cooler air will send morning lows into the 40s across parts of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Highs Saturday will range from the 50s across the northern Great Lakes to the low 80s in southwestern Kansas. Except for a few showers around the Great Lakes Sunday and gradually increasing thunderstorms in parts of the Plains, the region could be mostly dry as a dome of high pressure moves in. Morning lows could dip into the 30s in parts of the Upper Midwest away from the Lakes by Monday. West | An area of low pressure aloft will drift into the Pacific Northwest this weekend and into the Rockies by Monday. This system will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will be relatively mild across the Northwest while the Central Valley of California and the Southwest continue to sizzle. Many cities in California, like San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego and Palm Springs dealt with record heat on Friday. Highs will range from the 80s in Montana and low 90s in southern Idaho to over 100 in the Central Valley of California and just inland from the Southern California Coast and between 105 and 120 in the Desert Southwest. |

 South stays unsettled, Midwest chilly Chris Dolce, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Aug. 29, 2009 1:43 pm ET South | The tail end of a front will hang up over the South with ripples of low pressure riding along the next couple of days. Sunday, scattered storms will be possible from the Texas Gulf Coast east-northeastward to Georgia and the Carolinas. More wet weather is expected on Monday, especially over the Southeastern States and Florida. Below-average highs will rule the lower-Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys Sunday. Much of this area will be in the upper 70s and low 80s. Upper 80s to low 90s will dominate the eastern and central Carolinas southward into southeast Georgia and Florida. In the Southern Plains, highs will range from the 70s and 80s in northwest Texas and Oklahoma to the upper 90s and 100s in South Texas. Northeast | An upper disturbance will keep portions of the Northeast unsettled Sunday. Some lake-enhanced rain showers are likely near the eastern Great Lakes. A few showers are possible into New England as well. Highs will be in the 60s and 70s across the interior. Closer to the coast, afternoon readings will be in the low to mid 80s from Boston, Mass. to Washington, D.C. High pressure will move over much of the region on Monday. The lone exception will be the Mid-Atlantic where a front will linger bringing the possibility of showers to portions of Virginia and the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. Midwest | Cool, Canadian high pressure will result in below-average temperatures the next few days. Lows on Sunday morning will mostly be in the 40s and 50s. Portions of northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and the U.P. of Michigan will dip in the 30s. Some locations will be within a few degrees of records. The mercury won't recover much during the afternoon. Highs will only be in the 60s across the upper-Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes. Look for 70s to be common over the Plains and Ohio Valley. Chances of precipitation will be minimal. A few showers may linger in the Great Lakes early and few showers or storms may light up in the far western High Plains of Nebraska and Kansas. Temperatures will remain cooler than late August averages again on Monday. West | High-pressure aloft will dominate the Southwest on Sunday. Temperatures will soar well into the 100s and 110s over the Desert Southwest. Coastal Southern California will see highs fall several degrees from the previous several days. Los Angeles will peak in the upper 80s while San Diego reaches into the low 80s. An upper low will continue sliding inland over the Northwest. This will produce scattered showers and storms over the Northern Rockies. Disturbances rotating around the ridge currently baking the Southwest will spark scattered showers and storms over parts of Colorado and New Mexico. Gusty winds will howl across portions of Nevada, southern Utah, northern Arizona and the Sierra Nevada of California. This combined with warm temperatures and low humidity will cause the fire danger to be high. |

 Stormy Southeast, hot West Mark Avery, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Aug. 30, 2009 6:29 am ET South | An upper level trough interacting with a slow moving cold front will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms across the Southeast today into tonight. Some locally heavy rain is possible across the Southeast today and the Carolinas tonight. Showers and a few thunderstorms will continue throughout the week ahead near the Southeast Coast with the upper level trough remaining over the eastern half of the country. Another system will bring a chance of showers and storms to the Southern Plains late in the week. Highs today will range from the mid 70s in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles and the Southern Appalachians to near 100 in portions of South Texas. Northeast | Much drier weather is expected across the Northeast today, although some areas of New York and New England will get a few showers today and tonight as an upper level trough moves through. Cool temperatures will move in, beginning today in the interior. Most of the week ahead should be dry and cool. Along portions of the New England and Long Island Coasts, rough surf is expected to continue today but begin to subside by this evening. Highs today will range from around 60 in western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania to the mid 80s in the Washington, D.C. metro area. West | An upper level ridge continues to keep the Southwest hot and dry. An upper level low over the Pacific Northwest, on the other hand, is keeping the Northwest cool, with showers and storms in the Rockies and High Plains. Upper level disturbances will move around the ridge in the Southwest helping to trigger some storms in the Rockies and High Plains. The upper low will begin to move out of the Northwest early this week, bringing the chance of storms into the Northern High Plains by Tuesday. After a brief warm-up in the Northern Rockies, an upper level trough will move into the Northwest late in the week bringing more unsettled weather and cooler temperatures. Highs today will range from the 60s along the Northwest and Northern California Coast to the 110s in the deserts of southeastern California and southwestern Arizona. Midwest | High pressure over the Midwest will keep the region dry today. A few showers are possible near the Great Lakes, with a threat of rip currents along north and northwest facing beaches in northwestern Indiana and Michigan. Cool temperatures are expected to continue across the region for the next several days. The upper low currently in the Pacific Northwest will begin to move into the Plains as an upper level disturbance by midweek bringing a chance of showers and storms to the Plains and Missouri Valley beginning Tuesday, continuing through the end of the week. Highs today will be in the 60s and 70s. |

 Stormy Southeast, Rockies; cool Central, East Mark Avery, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Aug. 31, 2009 6:34 am ET South | Showers and a few thunderstorms are possible today across the Southeast ahead of s slow moving frontal boundary. This front is forecast to stall near or just off the Southeast Coast in the coming days, with shower and thunderstorm chances continuing near the Southeast Coast throughout the week. An upper level disturbance moving through the Northern Rockies today and tonight will bring a chance of storms to parts of the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley late week and into the weekend. Cool temperatures are possible over much of the region this week as well. Highs today will range from around 70 in the North Carolina and Virginia Mountains to the upper 90s in parts of South Texas. West | The upper level low that sat over the Pacific Northwest late last week and into the weekend is moving east today as an upper level disturbance, producing some showers and storms in parts of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. Smaller disturbances will help trigger some showers and storms later today across the Rockies and High Plains. Hot and dry conditions are expected to continue in the Great Basin, with hot temperatures also expected in parts of the Pacific Northwest. An upper trough is forecast to move towards the coast late week, bringing a chance of showers to the Pacific Northwest and cooler temperatures across the region into the weekend. Highs today will range from around 60 along the Northern California and Pacific Northwest Coasts to the 110s in the Lower Colorado River Valley. Midwest | A cool and mostly sunny day is on the way across much of the Midwest with high pressure over the Upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes. The exception will be the Western Plains where southerly winds will crank up, helping to bring warm temperatures to the western Dakotas. The upper level disturbance moving out of the Northern Rockies will bring a chance of storms to the Plains and Missouri Valley by midweek, spreading into the Mississippi Valley late week. Cool temperatures are expected to continue across the region throughout the week. Highs today will range from the 60s near the Great Lakes to the mid 80s in western North Dakota. Northeast | A cool and mostly sunny day is also expected across the Northeast today. High pressure as the surface with an upper level trough overhead will keep the dry and cool conditions in place throughout the week. The next chance of rain moves into the region late week. Highs today will be in the 60s and 70s. |

 Eastern chill and some coastal wet spots Tom Moore, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Aug. 31, 2009 8:24 pm ET South | A stalled frontal boundary and waves of low pressure along it will keep coastal areas of the Southeast and Gulf unsettled for awhile. Showers and thunderstorms will be scattered on Tuesday from the eastern Carolinas back to southern Georgia and northern Florida. Areas west of the Mississippi River will be mainly dry. There will be a few scattered thunderstorms over South Texas, however to take the edge off the persistent heat. Look for very little change on Wednesday. Highs on Tuesday will be in the 70s and 80s from the lower-Mississippi Valley to the Carolinas. Much of Texas will be in the 90s. West | A large dome of high pressure aloft hold the fort across the Southwest on Tuesday. Some moisture will get pulled in around the high increasing the chance of thunderstorms Tuesday into Wednesday, especially over the higher terrain. Temperatures will remain quite hot over the inland areas of Southewrn California. Highs should remain in the 90s in the Los Angeles area. Low humidity and localized strong winds gusts will keep the fire danger high into Tuesday. Areas of smoke will result in poor air quality. Low pressure aloft over the Northern Rockies will head east Tuesday bringing isolated thunderstorms to portions of Montana and Wyoming. Temperatures will range from the slightly above average upper 70s and low 80s along the Pacific Northwest I-5 corridor to the well above average 80s and low 90s across the interior. Midwest | Folks from the Great Lakes to the Ohio Valley will wake up to a chilly Tuesday morning. Lows will mostly be in the 40s and 50s. A few lows may dip into the 30s and frost may form in parts of northern Michigan away from the Great Lakes. Temperatures will warm into the 70s by afternoon across these areas under sunny skies. Look for increasing southerly winds from the central plains to the Dakotas behind an area of high pressure around the Great Lakes. A disturbance aloft may trigger scattered thunderstorms over the High Plains of the Dakotas and Nebraska. Shower and thunderstorm chances will increase over the Plains Wednesday as the disturbance dives southeastward. Northeast | High pressure will rule the Northeast on Tuesday resulting in a very pleasant day after a cool morning. Low temperatures will be in the 40s and 50s across the interior and in New England. From New York, N.Y. to Washington, D.C., temperatures will be in the mid and upper 50s. Scattered locations in northern New York and New England will see lows in the 30s. Frost advisories are in place for the Adirondacks and northeastern Vermont. Tuesday highs will be mostly in the 70s, with a few 60s in the higher elevations. |

 Southeast rain, Midwest cool Mark Avery, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Sep. 1, 2009 6:47 am ET South | Showers and thunderstorms are possible along and ahead of a stalled front in the Southeast and in South Texas. The greatest chance of rain should be across Florida, where an upper level disturbance will interact with the moisture in place near the Gulf, with some locally heavy rain possible. Locally heavy rain cannot be ruled out in South Texas as well. An isolated storm or two is possible in parts of Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas. The front is forecast to remain off the Gulf and Southeast Coasts and across the Florida Peninsula for much of the remainder of the week. Temperatures will remain below average in the Southeast for the next couple of days before warming back to near average by the end of the week. An upper level low moving into the Northern and Central Plains will bring a chance of storms to the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley late week into the weekend. Highs today will range from around 70 in the Southern Appalachians to the mid 90s in Central Texas. West | Hot and dry conditions continue over much of the West Coast and Great Basin. An upper level low over the Northern Rockies and Northern High Plains and smaller disturbances in the Rockies will bring a chance of a few storms today into tonight. An upper level trough moving into the West Coast later this week will bring a chance of showers to the Pacific Northwest late in the week and cooler temperatures across the region by the weekend and into early next week. Some moisture from Jimena may make its way into the Four Corners over the weekend, which would enhance the chance of rain and thunderstorms. Highs today will range from around 60 along the Northern California and Oregon Coasts to the 110s in the Lower Colorado River Valley. Midwest | High pressure will keep the Midwest dry and cool today; the exception will be the Western Plains where southerly winds will keep it warm and the approaching upper level low will bring a chance of showers and storms later today into tonight. This upper low will keep the chance of showers and storms in the Plains and Missouri Valley over the next couple of days, with rain chances increasing in coverage late in the week and over the weekend. Highs today will be in the 70s and 80s. Northeast | High pressure will also keep the Northeast clear and relatively cool again today. Dry weather is expected to continue across the region at least until the end of the week with high pressure remaining in control. A few showers are possible along the coast as a weak low moves up the coast late in the week. Highs today will be in the 60s and 70s. |

 Dangerous Jimena heads for Baja Peninsula JIMENA As of 5 a.m. Pacific Time Tuesday, Jimena was located about 155 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Maximum sustained winds are near 155 miles per hour, making Jimena a top-end category 4 hurricane, just shy of category 5 strength. Jimena is moving to the north-northwest near 12 miles per hour; this motion is expected to continue through the rest of today. Jimena is expected to approach the southern coast of the Baja Peninsula tonight and Wednesday. As the hurricane steams northward it will run into a more stable environment and progressively cooler ocean water. The combination of those conditions should weaken Jimena before it reaches the coast. The farther north Jimena goes before it makes landfall the longer it has to weaken. Nonetheless the forecast still calls for Jimena to be a major hurricane at landfall (wind speeds of 111 mph or higher). Only two major hurricanes have hit Baja California directly, Hurricane Kiko on August 27, 1989 and Hurricane Olivia on October 14, 1967. A hurricane warning is now in effect for the southern end of the Baja Peninsula from Puerto San Andresito on the West Coast around the southern tip of the peninsula and north to loreto on the East Coast (this includes Cabo San Lucas). A hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are possible within 24 hours. The southern tip of the warning area will see rapidly deteriorating conditions today and tonight. Hurricane watches have been issued farther north along the Baja Peninsula from Puerto San Andresito to Punta Eugenia on the West Coast and from Loreto to Bahia San Juan Bautista on the East Coast. A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours. The watch may be extended further north later today. Tropical storm watches are also in effect for the West Coast of Mainland Mexico from Altata to Huatabampito. A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within 36 hours. This watch may also be extended further north later today. Residents and visitors of southern half of Baja California should be finishing their preparations for a major hurricane. A dangerous storm surge, damaging winds, battering waves and heavy, flooding rains are all possible. Impacts from Jimena will be felt along mainland Mexico as well. Dangerous rip currents, large and battering waves and heavy, flooding rainfall are expected. The waves and rip currents are occurring from Manzanillo northward, while the heaviest rain should fall from Mazatlan north. Flash flooding and landslides are most likely over the mountains. ATLANTIC The area of disturbed weather about 300 miles east of the Lesser Antilles continues to produce thunderstorm activity. Recent data from the area indicates that the low pressure system that had been east of Barbados Monday has weakened, but a new low may be forming to the north and east of the old one. The Hurricane Hunters will investigate the area this afternoon to ascertain what is going on. This area could be classified a tropical depression or a tropical storm later today, depending on what the Hurricane Hunters find. Nevertheless the disturbance is expected to move off to the west-northwest and could impact the northern part of the Lesser Antilles in the next 2 or 3 days. A new tropical wave is moving off the coast of Africa. This area will be watched for any future development as it moves westward. KEVIN Kevin weakened to a tropical depression Monday morning, and now has top winds near 35 mph as of 2 a.m. Pacific Time Tuesday. Kevin was located about 830 miles to the west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Kevin is moving toward the north at 5 mph. Kevin is not a threat to land and is forecast to become a remnant low later today. |

 Slight help for fires, wet Southeast Kevin Roth, Lead Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Sep. 1, 2009 1:36 pm ET West | Much of the region will remain sunny and hot over the next few days as high pressure remains in control. Some slight improvement is coming to the Southern California wild fire areas in the form of lower temperatures and higher humidity. High temperatures Wednesday near the fires should be in the middle 90s to near 100 and in the 90s on Thursday. Humidity levels should rise to 15 to 30 percent from the upper single digits earlier this week. These two slight improvements will help slow the fire's growth perhaps allowing firefighters to begin containing the blazes. Moisture from a dying Hurricane Jimena may reach Arizona and New Mexico by the end of the week. South | A stalled frontal boundary continues bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Southeast coast, Florida and the Gulf Coast states Wednesday and Thursday. A few of the thunderstorms could make it as far north and west as central Mississippi and central Alabama. An upper level low drops into the eastern Plains bringing the threat of thunderstorms to Kansas, Oklahoma and a small part of northeast Texas Wednesday and Thursday. A few of the stronger storms could contain hail and damaging winds. The remainder of the region should have pleasant weather with sunny to partly cloudy skies. High temperatures should range from the 70s northeast to the middle 90s over Texas. Northeast | High pressure keeps the region dry and pleasant into Thursday. Skies should be sunny during the day and clear at night. Temperatures should be close to seasonal averages with highs mostly in the 70s to near 80. Overnight lows should range from near 40 in the chillier valleys to the very low 60s in the big cities and in the 40s in the cooler valleys to the middle 60s in the big cities. Midwest | High pressure dominates most of the region providing sunny, mild days and clear, cool nights through Thursday. The exception will be the Plains where an upper low drops through the region producing scattered thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday. A few of the thunderstorms could producing gusty winds and hail. High temperatures should range from the 70s to near 80 east of the Mississippi River and in the upper 70s to middle 80s over the Plains both days. |
