Cooler. And Sergio. And Michael.

Holy cow the weather is weird.  At least the tropical storms.  But first, expect a chance of some fog returning overnight, putting an end to the four day run of near perfect weather.  Excepting that demon wind.  The night will be warmer and the day cooler.  High in the upper 60s.  Lighter winds though, so might feel similar in exposed areas.  Protected zones like Harvey West might feel the touch of coolness.  We should kick this trend by later int he week.  Clear nights, cooler nights and warmer days return for Friday and into the weekend.  Nothing about our local weather is all that weird.  The smoke yesterday from the Solano County fire was a bit odd, but that is not weird weather.

What is interesting is Sergio returning to Mexico.  Great for us, sending waves north, but this will be the second hit Baja takes in two weeks.  A little further south this time.  He should make landfall on Thursday night, with about 50mph winds and bringing plenty of rain.  What is about to become a news story, and of much bigger concern is Micheal in the Gulf of Mexico.  Just forming now, he is to intensify quickly, making landfall on the Florida pan handle Wednesday evening as a major hurricane.  Expected sustained winds over 110 mph at land fall.  The track continues north and east, over Georgia, South and North Carolina, Virginia and going back out to sea somewhere around Washington D.C.  Much of that same area is where Florence dropped so much rain a few weeks ago.  And Mother Nature is now taking at the Capital.  And is that was not interesting enough, check out Leslie. She has been wandering around the Atlantic for weeks now.  Like well before Rosa was even a thing.  And now she is strengthening again and taking aim at Europe.  Well, first she will head south east, then turn northeast and march right at Portugal.  Do they even normally get swell from the southwest?  Well, they will now.  And maybe a good wetting as well.  For us, we won't see any weather from these storms.  Sergio is far enough south that moisture will only hit souther Arizona and shift over New Mexico and into Texas.  Eventually heading to the northeast, giving the southeast a break.

So, some fog over the next few days.  Light winds.  Maybe even south winds by mid week.  Sunny mornings and clear nights returns Thursday.   Winds remain light.  Looks light autumn is here.
