When I wandered in to the kitchen for that first cup of coffee this morning the weather station on the shelf informed me that the outside temperature was at 70°. I didn’t even bother to look at the humidity so I can’t report what it might have been but the cooler, drier air that has filtered in should have kept it down lower than normal.

I fired up the laptop and started the morning ritual of reading the news, the views and the blogs before checking email. By the time I wandered through all of the above the sun was starting to light up the world outside the my back door. The light on the trees out back pulled me out with my camera so I ended up heading for work with wet, grass covered dress shoes…such is the life of a goofy amateur photog.

Here’s the results for what they are worth…

The Yucatan Peninsula, western Cuba, northern Gulf Coast, and Florida Gulf Coast could also be at risk.
