All is quiet across the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf as we are about to head into the weekend. It appears that no tropical development is expected for at least the next 10 days, if not longer. The reason for this has to due with the very high amounts of wind shear and very dry air that is present across much of the Atlantic Basin. These unfavorable environmental conditions are expected to persist for at least the next 10 days, if not through the last 3 weeks that are remaining in this hurricane season. Because of this, we might be able to close the books on the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Now, let’s turn out attention to the central and eastern parts of the United States where it appears that the first Arctic blast of the season will occur for a couple of days early next week.

A robust cold front is expected to push eastward across the central and then eastern United States this weekend & this cold front will introduce a blast of pretty cold air for this time of year.

Current indications seem to point towards record low temperatures occurring on Monday morning and Tuesday morning, especially across the Southeast.

Frost and freeze conditions will make it as far south as the I-10 corridor of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday morning. Additionally, low temperatures will be in the teens and 20s across areas from the Tennessee Valley northward into the Ohio Valley and Midwest.

Fortunately, this bout of cold weather will not last long at all, as temperatures will rebound quickly by the middle part of next week.
