Oak trees seem to be producing a lot more acorns than normal this year. This is from a tree in my yard. Does it portend a cold winter? Any other old wives’ tails you’ve seen evidence of this fall? -David

Tropical Update Friday PM: I'm watching a tropical wave moving generally westward in the Eastern Atlantic. This track will continue through much of next week, before likely curving northward. The Google DeepMind Ensemble has been showing around a 40-50% chance of development by the middle of the week. The ECMWF Ensemble shows potential development, too. The chances of a system this far away making it to the US this time of year are very, very, very low.

Closer to home, we'll have to keep an eye on the Western Caribbean towards the middle of October. Mean Sea Level Pressure looks lower than normal, so a spin-up tropical system is at least a low-end possibility. This would match climatology, too.

A broad spin in the Northwest Gulf and near the Southern Bahamas heading into the weekend are unlikely to develop tropically. -David

Clouds are moving in with rain chances returning Sunday, but we're not going to see much of a pressure drop over the next several days. Good news if your body is sensitive to pressure changes!

Cloud cover is moving in with rain chances to follow for later in the weekend. Scattered showers look to develop Sunday afternoon and into the evening hours. Here’s the projected radar at 5 pm. We’ll be humid again at that point, too. -David

A tropical wave in the Eastern Atlantic could be the next system to form. Looks like a 50-50 chance at this point, towards the middle of next week. The long-range guidance indicates a likely turn northward in the Atlantic. No worries, but I’ll be tracking it. -David

Fascinating look at the shifting sands of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, near Buxton, since 1984. Barrier islands naturally change over time...building on them is risky!

I'm looking for the first big cold front of fall, . A front that drops us into the 40s, at least. Going back over the past decade, you can see it happens at some point in October like clockwork. Sometimes early October, sometimes late October. This year, I'm predicting it to happen during the third week of the month. Could even happen right at the start of the third week, on the 15th. It's just a matter of time! -David

A tropical wave will move off the coast of Africa late Thursday, heading westward. The Google DeepMind Ensemble is consistently showing around a 50/50 chance of development by the middle of next week. If development occurs, chances are we'll see another curve northward, but I'm watching it. -David

Hurricane Imelda will move across Bermuda late Wednesday evening as a Category 2 storm. The track will continue to be out to sea, away from the US.

These temps for the next couple mornings look great! Definitely a feel of autumn on the way!

Dry weather will hold through the rest of the week and into the weekend, but deeper moisture returns on Sunday into early next week, introducing the chance for a few showers. -David
