SubTropical Depression no. 10 Formed and Provided Heavy Rains to the Gulf Coast. Warm-up in the East, While Cooler, Wet Weather Invaded the West.
Weekend Review (22-23 September 2007): SubTropical Depression no. 10 formed early in the weekend and headed into the western Florida Panhandle early Saturday with winds up to 35 mph. Heavy rains accompanied the storm across coastal Florida and Mississippi, although little impact was reported as it quickly dissipated.
Elsewhere east of the Rockies, it was a pleasant, but warm weekend with high temperatures well into the 80s (and some low 90s) in many locations. A slightly cooler air mass made it into the Upper Midwest and into Northeast on Sunday with only slightly cooler temperatures, but with less humidity.
From the West Coast into the Rockies, the cooler surge with highs in the 60s and 70s brought with it showers into California early in the weekend and spreading across the Intermountain West and Western Provinces. Some higher elevation snows were reported above 6,000 feet across the Northern Rockies.
Last Week (week-ending 09/22/2007): The week began with a continuation of the cooler Canadian air mass across much of the East providing comfortable dry conditions. The heat was on out West with temperatures into the 80s and some 90s.
However, big changes occurred during the week as a much cooler surge of air invaded the West Coast providing a sharp drop in temperatures along the West Coast and into the Rockies.
