Gulf Moisture Swept Up By the Approaching Front... Halloween Around the Corner. Then Comes November... Do You Like Candy Corn?

Only official game in town.

It's actually Invest 99L but...

...not being advertised.

Just being watched.

Ships at sea and all that.

It's pretty. Very there.

NHC doesn't seem to care.

So just pointing it out for posterity sake

The moisture in the GOM is shown below.

I didn't talk much on it.

It was obviously not going to get a name.

It's a player in the game.

Oomphs up the moisture in the next front.

It's a component of weather ahead for the South.

This is the pattern.

This is the purpose of Gulf moisture currently.

And it's good because many places need rain.

North Carolina needs it badly.

Just tropical moisture being swept up fast in the flow towards the cold front moving across the US on it's way towards bringing me a bit of cooler weather (in theory) as those in the North are getting the threat of snow, ice and those in the South are getting rain. We are having Fall mornings and summer like days as the thermometer climbs at Noon. I'd complain but friends in Florida are complaining about temperatures still in the low 90s so I'll shut up on complaining about the low 80s.

We all see weather personally.

We look from our own perspective.

Or maybe we check where our parents live..

....or our children.

Or where we want to travel to next.

Raleigh expecting a low of 38 on Friday.

Says 73 today but trust me will be higher.

Every day we surpass the projected high.

Nights are beautiful.

In California winds are gusting hurricane strength.

If you want to follow LA weather or news.

Best source there is online.

Surfed around and came on this and I knew..

...where it was as I'd know the place in my dreams.

Sepulveda Pass on the 405 Freeway.

Winds can bring drought, rain or famine.

The many sides of weather and the atmosphere.

So that's it for today.

I have things to do.

And places to go.

And nothing calling to me tropically.

KYAAR is doing things on the other side of the world.

Beautiful to watch and many are....

and the beat goes on.

Amazingly, this year's record breaking North Indian Ocean hurricane season isn't over after #Kyarr. A monsoon depression currently near Sri Lanka will likely trigger another cyclone right on #Kyarr's heels and become #Maha, potentially threatening the Arabian Peninsula next week. pic.twitter.com/I777n7oXTZ

So that's it for today.

I said that already.

Had this song stuck in my mind.

One line "swept away"

Feel silly, figured out it was the Carrie Underwood Song.

It was "blown away"...

...maybe some "swept away" song somewhere?

Music running through my head always.

So leaving y'all with that.

Hope your weather is beautiful.

Watch fronts that are dragging slow ...

..and dying out over warm water.

But as always if there is shear there.

Nothing happens.

Deep Caribbean is usually the November arena.

So let's let things go where they flow.

And enjoy this spooky week!

Hope you have a happy Halloween.

What is a happy Halloween?

Your favorite friends?

Or your favorite candies?

Or your favorite spooky drink?

My favorite spooky song is obvious.

Cute tweet today.

A candy corn weather map below.

Whole tweet shown above.

So virtually sending it to him here.

Creative map.

Gotta love Candy Corn.

Much love,

It's a bit of a dark song.

But I love the weather references....

"no storm clouds gather in her eyes"

Updated. Tornado Warning Sugar Land Texas... Storm System Headed Towards Houston Now Tornado Watch UP---. Halloween and Wicked Weather in the South Coming to Your State Soon ... What's Your Favorite Candy? What's Your Favorite Costume? Twister Movies... And Hollywood Inspiration

Really feels like some sick joke.

A Tornado Warning in Sugar Land Texas on Halloween.

Lot's of tricks Mother Nature has up her sleeve.

This storm is moving towards the Houston area now.

Don't say I didn't warn ya..

Been much talk on this system the last few days.

But it probably got lost in the news cycle.

Thought I'd put this up as it's good to remember.

Halloween comes with a treat...

..tomorrow has some tricks in store.

Or late tonight in some places.

Good read below if you are in the areas above.

As for me I spent the day at the Mall.
Very early holiday shopping.
Big family....gotta start early!
I may go as an Angel for Halloween ;)

Oh and I voted



* * *

This is foreshadowing..........

But this post is really about Halloween.

Halloween and the movies... 

And weather... of course.

A kind of cult classic. You either love it or hate it. But everyone loves to be scared by movies with tornadoes in them. People who won't watch "thriller movies" will sit spellbound through movies with mean tornadoes that rain down hail or metal and as long as the twister is spinning people are mesmerized.

Why I don't know. Don't blame it on Twister, blame it on the Wizard of Oz that held a generation spellbound and then held their children spellbound as well. Was it the "yellow brick road" or the "bluebirds flying?" or the "wicked witch of the west" an iconic forever symbol of a wicked witch. Of course Glinda is always the good witch, but that's not how most people dress up for Halloween.

In vivid color and ruby shoes Dorothy and Toto entered a world where they were protected by the Scarecrow and her other friends from the Wicked Witch of the West.



In 1996 a movie was made with special effects that made the sounds of the Twister come alive and with some comedy, romance and a measure of terror audiences were held spellbound once again. And thousands of kids went online into weather chat rooms looking to be meteorologists. True too. Most didn't but some did and the legacy continues. Listen to that Twister growl... sounds you would normally hear in an old classic like "The Birds" but this was Mother Nature showing her mean side.

Red inside is green is NOT good.

This coming week Mother Nature may once again show her mean side along the Deep South and along the Gulf of Mexico states as warm air rushes up to meet a cold front. It won't have a "name" but it may produce tornadoes and severe weather and in some places it's possible it will come in the dark of the night.

Wouldn't it be lovely if Superman could save the day and protect us from Mother Nature when she's in a bitchy, witchy mood the way he saved us time and again from Lex Luthor? Lex Luthor always trying to control the weather, because he knew if you could control the weather it gives you the ultimate edge.



In truth Weather People try to save you all the time, but until the sky begins to get dark, the wind starts to blow and your App or WhatsApp goes crazy no one takes them seriously :(

One thing I learned in North Carolina is that for some odd reason.... nighttime tornadoes happen in Raleigh more than any other time of the day. Kind of the reverse of in Camelot where it only rains at Midnight. And in parts of the South severe weather could be a big problem, yet everyone is thinking on Hurricane Season leaving us and Winter arriving soon on the scene. This Autumn may end up being the Twister Season that went whoosh with the wind this past Spring when they usually appear out on the Plains. But in the Fall that happens also, as warm Gulf of Mexico air rushes up towards diving fronts and when there is a strong Southern Jet setting up .... get ready because we may have an Autumn to remember with dangerous weather.

Hurricanes don't work as well in most movies as do Earthquakes and Tornadoes.

Watch the weather carefully this Autumn and while you are watching perhaps the 2018 Hurricane Season will squeeze out one last storm somewhere.

Something to think on while eating candy or drinking punchy drinks or dressed up as your favorite Super Hero. Does anyone dress up as Kryptonite I wonder? Isn't it funny that it's green like the Emerald City? And the planet probably blew up when some bad guy like Darth Vader who hit Alderan with the Death Star that actually was green and then the planet exploded in a million pieces.



Where would Halloween be without Hollywood and candy?

Have a wonderful time wherever you are and whatever you do even if you sit up at home watching old movies or listening to broadcasts of the War of the Worlds. Really the day before Halloween and no one wondered on that? Hmnnn  It was a different world. The biggest "fake news story" of them all.

Whatever world you are in today and tonight enjoy it. And watch out for severe weather approaching as it will. Oscar is off to see the Wizard faster than a speeding bullet and wicked weather is coming to the South over the next few days. Be prepared for it. Party today, prepare tomorrow!

Ps ... as for me... maybe a flapper or maybe Cat Ballou. Lord knows the shoe fits :) Would anyone realize I was Cat Ballou? Yeah, someone would. Either way it's about having fun. Fun is good. There's another things in the world that are not fun. Today is a good day to have fun. 50 seconds or so in one of my favorite scenes... iconic! Ha!

Hurricane Oscar Out in the Middle of the Atlantic Dancing with the Front, Going Out to Sea. High Surf for Bermuda. 105 MPH - Cat 2. Wicked Weather in South Tomorrow Again... Tropics and Halloween.

Look how bulked up Oscar is.

Also about to merge with the front.

But for now holding his own.

105 MPH - Category 2

Holding his own for now...

Reminiscent of Florence in ways.

Between a rock and 2 hard places.

Out to sea.

Will bring high surf to Bermuda.

Maybe Affect Europe..

North Sea.

What is next?

More strong weather along the Gulf of Mexico..

Deep South and Southeast.

Tomorrow should bring really bad weather down there.

Winter obviously is NEXT...

but... there is still tropical moisture out there.

Oscar at the top left.

More tropical moisture Westbound.

Until that faucet is fixed.

It bears watching.

What starts there can get into the Caribbean.

How you ask?

Between frontal systems.

Indian Summer... 

That warm up that comes in early November.

That's why storms that form in the Carib...

...catch the next cold front out to the NE usually.

Halloween?

What are you dressing up as?

Dangerous subject these days.

Cranky put this in his blog yesterday.

What is that? 

Wolf? 

Scary Man?

Incredible really...

...nothing like Mother Nature.

If I was going to a party...

..I'd probably dress up as a Flapper.

:)

Or a Gypsy... 

Both dance. 

Maybe I'll wear one of Mike's shirts...

or a www.hurricanecity.com tee shirt.

I'll dress up as a Storm Chaser.

Maybe it's too soon round these parts.

Whatever your plans...

Keep it safe.

Have fun.

Let your inner Super Hero come out ;)
