Baldwin’s Hay Day Forecast
That hay forecast is still looking good through Saturday! We can’t completely rule out a storm, especially in the heat-of-the-day hours, but those chances are rather slim. After Saturday, hot and humid weather will increase afternoon storm chances.

Tropics
Tropical Storm Isaias is making his way through the Northeast today, bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, and tornadoes.
The other area of concern that looked to become Josephine is now looking weaker and more disorganized. The chances for this becoming our next named storm are now quite slim.
Today’s
Wx Hazards Across the Nation
Isaias will bring severe storms and heavy rainfall to the Northeast today. Those folks are certainly in for a rough weather day. Farther west, severe storms will threaten western Nebraska, western Kansas, and the Panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma.
Tomorrow’s
Wx Hazards Across the Nation
Some severe weather will threaten northeast Colorado and southwest Nebraska. Meanwhile, the remnants of Isaias will move into southern Canada.
Thursday’s
Wx Hazards Across the Nation
At this time, a quieter day is expected.
Records
On this day in 1882 a vivid aurora (Northern Lights) was visible from Oregon to Maine, down the east coast as far as Mayport, Florida, and inland as far as Wellington, Kansas! That is quite the solar storm!
Observers at Louisville KY noted “merry dancers” across the sky, and observers at Saint Vincent, Minnesota noted it was probably the most brilliant aurora ever seen at that location.
Long Range Outlook
It looks like long range indicators suggest typical August weather, with warm conditions and equal chances for being dry or wet for the 9th through the 13th. Nothing incredibly hot or cold, and nothing incredibly wet or dry.

Weather Shot
This graphic shows the four quadrants of a hurricane and the frequency of tornado occurrence in 214 storms. It’s pretty clear that tornadoes prefer the right, front quadrant of the storm (relative to the storm’s motion). For instance, if a hurricane’s center is moving north and crossing Mobile, Alabama the highest chance for tornadoes would be found across the Florida Panhandle and southern Georgia.
NASA Nerdology
It has now been 16 years since Messenger launched from Kennedy Space Center. The spacecraft became the first to orbit Mercury. It found evidence of volcanic activity and water in the exosphere of Mercury. An exosphere is a planet’s outermost layer of atmosphere.
You all have a great day!
