Here’s some rain totals from last night’s storms.  We had a rough cell move over Hatteras Village, and a tornado warning was issued.  The fire chief from the Village said that there were some trash cans knocked over, an ice machine that fell over, and a few windows on a house were rattled in the night waking a family.   They were ok.  You can see the heavier amounts of rain in southern Virginia Beach back down to parts of Northeast North Carolina.  Another swath of heavier rain fell north of the viewing area.  The showers will be ending this afternoon and we will clear out.  The sunshine and southwest winds will bring us some unseasonably warm weather.  Highs will be in the lower 80s.  Tomorrow the same setup will put our highs in the mid 80s. 

Our next cool down arrives Monday night:

This cold front will finally make it feel Fall-like for a couple of days.  Very cool dry air will work in from the Northwest Tuesday through Thursday.  Highs will be in the upper 60s by Wednesday.  Lows will be in the lower 50s.  We’ll probably see mid-upper 40s in some inland areas Wednesday and Thursday mornings.  Maybe this will get the Fall leaves to change color.  So far they haven’t turned in the metro.  They should really turn by the middle-end of October.  My wife’s favorite season is Fall, but it basically reminds me that it’s time to rake, rake, rake.
