MM’s Wx Analysis

Hot high pressure is in control of our weather today, keeping all major storm systems at bay. Severe storms will threaten areas shaded in yellow, while Tropical Storm Edouard moves inland this afternoon on the Texas/Louisiana border. That storm is expected to rapidly intensify today before moving onshore as a strong tropical storm or even cat 1 hurricane.

The moisture from Edouard can be seen below. As you can see, it stays well away from the plateau. The high pressure in control of us now will continue steering this moisture northwestward in the coming days.

Issued Monday, August 31, 2026

It doesn’t look like much now, but Tropical Storm Edouard has quickly formed in the northern Gulf, just off the coast of Louisiana. It was named at about 7:00 pm. Max sustained winds are currently 40 mph. You can see it on water vapor imagery below, just south of Louisiana. The storm only has tonight and Tuesday morning to strengthen, but with a small, compact center in a low shear environment that is over very warm ocean waters, the storm could explode in intensity and may even make a run for cat 1 hurricane status before making landfall Tuesday afternoon on the border of Texas and Louisiana.

The official forecast calls for it to reach maximum sustained winds of 60 mph before landfall. Cat 1 hurricane status starts at 74 mph. Some guidance is suggesting that the storm will be closer to 75 mph at landfall.

This is very typical of El Nino hurricane seasons. The greatest risk we have this season are spin-ups in the Gulf and/or along the Gulf Stream of the East Coast. El Nino patterns typically create lots of shear out in the Atlantic, preventing storms from strengthening. Tornadoes thrive on shear, while hurricanes can’t survive with shear. As a reminder, wind shear is the increase in the speed of winds as you move up from the surface. Hurricanes need very light winds from the surface all the way up into the atmosphere in order to thrive.

This will be one to watch over the next 18 hours. As of now, it looks like the moisture will continue to be steered northwestward and not impact us on the plateau. I’ll keep an eye on that, though.

I’m home! It was a quick but very eventful trip and I can’t wait to share what I learned with you all in the coming days and weeks. I have a ton of cool material for next summer’s space camp, for sure!!! lol I’m glad to be home safe and sound and looking forward to the next launch. Speaking of which…That launch was scheduled for September 12 but there’s a leak that needs fixing and so that launch has been delayed. We should find out soon when the new launch date will be (probably a few days or a couple weeks later than the 12th).

MM’s Wx Analysis

The most active weather today is out west toward the Four Corners region. Elsewhere, it’s just a hot summer day!

For the tropics, we have an area of low pressure that may spin up into a depression today off the Louisiana coastline. We also have the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly that may try to reorganize into a depression this week near the Bahamas. Neither area is a serious concern to the U.S. at this point.

Last week’s map can be seen below, for reference.

Our drought is looking so much better here at home but that’s not the case for much of the country.
