I was just going to comment on the hurricane season. Getting ridiculous with no end in sight. Atlantic Hurricanes love La Niña 💗

Looks like an over running battleground type setup trying to get going around day 9 with arctic air entrenched in the interior. Should get interesting after day 10

Oh yeah I've been following that too. Tropical cyclones really interest me and the eye of Typhoon Nuri was one of the most intense things I've experienced.

Yeah. Things get interesting starting Friday overnight into Saturday morning. Precip transitions to snow across most of the South Coast by Saturday morning. The snow showers continue into Sunday and move out by the evening.

This is why. Temperatures are marginal on Saturday morning, but fall into the afternoon and evening. The wind begins to howl too in the usual locations out of the NE.
