Only Thing Worse Than a Monday...

A Tuesday following opening weekend of NFL football. I had this past Monday off after a full day of football and geez, maybe should have considered Tuesday as well :) I have declared the first full Sunday of football an "unofficial" national holiday, right in there with Labor Day!





We're now fully into mid September and a check of long range computer models into the 10+ day timeframe are showcasing the strongest cold fronts we have seen in months. It's only a matter of time before the first front of the season passes across west central Florida with much lower humidity and daily highs in the 70s to mid 80s! The attached image is off the GFS model in the 10 day forecast period. In the image, continental polar air is making a run toward the northern tier of the United States. An air mass of that magnitude could bring the first taste of frost to many areas in the northern part of the country.



The days of open windows and sliding glass doors to let a fresh cross-breeze through the house will be a welcome sight. Despite the fact this September is -0.8 degrees cooler than normal, May thru August have all been above average by a range of +0.7 to +1.5 degrees.

Naturally, hotter than normal also translates into higher than normal cooling bills!
