Happy Red October Phillies Day to those who celebrate!!! Go Phillies! A beautiful stretch of autumnal weather on the way with both today and tomorrow reaching above normal high temps in the low 70's before we chill down to well below average highs starting on Monday and thru the rest of the week. Nigh time lows starting tonight will be in the 40's and maybe some 30's by Wednesday morning. Some shower chances increase by Sunday night with a cold frontal passage - otherwise a dry week.

Euro seasonal update is out. November and Jan look good.

I agree that SNL sucks in general... but sometimes it works and that cold open last week worked perfectly. I think Jon Stewart is genuinely funny regardless of which side he is skewering. If he did nothing but mock the left I would still watch and find him consistently funny. You might not like his politics but he is intelligent and I like his dry wit and sarcastic delivery. Sort of like Matt in that regard. I totally get that Trump is center. In general I have no problem with his policies. I don't fear him and won't have any issues with him winning in that regard. I just think his rhetoric is dangerous for a leader. He doesn't live in my head... I had basically forgot about him for the last couple of years. But now of course we have to make a choice between two bad candidates and he is being shoved in our faces every day ranting and raving. Its impossible to ignore. @hawkstwelve made a good point yesterday that some people can just just tune out his BS and other people can't ignore it. I am in the second group there. Listening to him talk is insulting to people's intelligence. Anyways... we don't have any good options. But I know that Trump will not fix any of the culture war stuff and likely make it worse as people who oppose him dig in more to spite him. That is just a fact. Our culture will be more looney in 2028 than it is now.

Models can change quite quickly this time of year and the 0z GFS did just that overnight. It's day 10 but at least it's something.

This is not good for what will be future Hurricane Milton. @tropicalupdate Follow First run of Hurricane models on http://tropicaltidbits.com. Not a forecast. These are right more than wrong with intensity. Tracks are usually close. Impacts could be significant if these verify. Not just coastal but inland towards the east coast too. Lots to watch with Invest 92.
