Tonight’s Harvest Full Moon is beautiful. I think having a few clouds just makes it even more beautiful. Step out and look up if you can!
The Harvest Moon got its name because, for several evenings around the full Moon, the Moon rises unusually soon after sunset. Before electric lighting, its bright evening light gave farmers extra time to bring in their crops—hence the name Harvest Moon.
A powerful area of low pressure off the coast of New Enland is bringing some rough weather to coastal areas of that region of the country. Unsettled weather in the central U.S. will bring showers and even a risk for flooding to Iowa. Some of that moisture in Texas has a tropical connection to storms in the eastern Pacific.
The season’s first Nor’easter is putting on a display on satellite this morning! It’s a bit early for these storm systems but here we are! ha The system will bring some rough weather to coastal New England for the next few days.
And Hurricane Nolo is going to stay just south enough of Hawaii to keep them from having the worst of its weather. What a close call this has been! At one point, the Big Island was expecting up to 35 inhes of rain. Now, we’re down to 10-15 inches. Yes, that’s still a problem but it’s not as bad as it could be!
Last week, 79% of the state was in drought. This week it’s 85%. Drought has spread and worsened across the state.

A developing Nor’easter is bringing rain to the East Coast. That system will be developing into a powerful storm system today. Unsettled weather can also be found in the central US and again in the Pacific Northwest. Here in the South we have high pressure and sunny skies. While not on this map, Hawaii braces for Hurricane Nolo, which could have significant impacts on the islands through the weekend.
The Crossville Airport is the official reporting station for the plateau.

The most impactful weather today is found across New Mexico (again!) and into the southern plains, where the red-shaded region shows a flood threat. This is actually some of the moisture from Hurricane Polo that is hundreds of miles away in the Pacific! Some of that moisture is helping contribute to their flooding issues.
