Tonight was one of those SLOW weather nights! One where I spent an hour lining up my school visits using little icons to indicate status, and checking out Phil Hendrie characters. I stared at the sky for a few minutes etc…
Poor Grand Turk island tonight. Looks like the eyewall of a very strong category 4 IKE is passing directly overhead right now. It's headed for the large Bahamian Island called Inagua, then on to Cuba. We'll see where it ends up. Obviously it's going to be the main weather story through this upcoming work week.
No changes in my forecast thinking for the next two days. Easterly flow begins later tonight and continues until Monday afternoon. Enjoy the sunshine! Mark Nelsen

On the center line of the current forecast track. First Galveston and then Houston. Could this be the storm that they have been planning for. Also, Galveston bay would be in the NE quad, which could be the onset of massive flooding from the storm surge.

Triforce is curious as to what kind of forecast that will bring? More late-season heat like today? I am still above 70F and it’s 9:00pm ish. 72.0F for the last 5 or so minuets. Struggling to go down so me thinks it be warm night indeed.

It’s VERY gust in Salem with trees blowing that looks like between 28-34 mpht cause the trees in Salem OR the large branches moved back n forth.
We went to Red Robins and the wind tried to blow ALL of our stuff. Not some but ALL. Not half but ALL. Not (Gets knocked out) Shutting up.
86F here and I can feel it when I step outside. Feels nice in the fall compared to Summer. 🙂 I hope Mother Nature coughes up one more record heat spell.
THE BASICS:
Commenting on this blog is open to anyone with an interest in or fascination with weather. Here at FOX-12 we're happy to provide you a space to "geek out" with fellow Pacific Northwesterners. But please don't abuse the privilege.
1. POSTING LINKS/VIDEO:
It's okay to insert video or pictures, as long as the link points to something appropriate for the general public. No politics, obscenity, etc...
2. CHOOSE A NAME ONCE:
Choose a name or identification once and stick with it. The very first time you comment it is held for moderation. After it's approved, that EXACT name will be allowed to comment at any time. Note that this applies to your IP address too. So using the same name but on Grandma's computer will require a one-time hold as well. This keeps the spam out.
3. NO PROFANITY:
This is pretty obvious, but avoid being rude or taunting others too.
4. NO RACISM, OR VIOLENT THREATS:
This will get you kicked off quickly. Please report this to me at mark.nelsen@kptv.com if it happens here.
