Wanna stay warm and dry?

Wow!  Check out this forecast graphic from the Climate Prediction Center that shows the temperature probabilities through the middle of October:
The eastern two-thirds of the U.S. looks like it will be much cooler than normal...but check out the lighter blue shading (or almost total lack thereof) at the yellow-starred location of Santa Rosa Beach.  The air temperatures here are forecast to be much closer to normal for this period than the Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, and Great Plains states.  The proximity of the still very warm Gulf of Mexico waters helps moderate temperatures at beachfronts during the autumn months while the rest of the country cools off quickly.

In addition I just checked the precipitation forecast through the first two weeks of October and, other than a slight chance of afternoon showers and thundershowers on Thursday the 4th, conditions look to be dry during the entire period.  So let's see...dry weather plus temperatures warmer than locales further north (Santa Rosa Beach highs through this coming weekend will be in the low 80's!) should equal a great time to visit Casablanca on 30A!!
