Looking At September

Summer isn't going away that fast, but it is going away...

As we wrote earlier this week, the tides are changing seasonally. Here at Titan HQ—West in New Mexico, we likely saw one of our last 90F high temps for the year yesterday.

The ridge that has dominated our weather remains firmly in place, but it has shifted north and east to start this week. In the west, a large trough is in place which should bring a meaningful tornado risk to parts of the Northern Plains tomorrow.

Over the past few weeks, a huge ridge with a powerful center was parked over the south-central U.S., bringing repeated excessive heat warnings and 110°F+ heat indexes to the Southern Plains.

Now, that pattern is changing slightly, but that pesky ridge isn’t going too far or fast.
