Nice autumn weather down here

The gales of November...that must be a northern thing since November weather here at Santa Rosa Beach is very pleasant.  Today - Tuesday Nov. 5th - for instance there are breezy northeasterly winds and a high temperature in the low 70's.  If that sounds a bit better than conditions at your locale you may want to consider heading down this way, especially to Casablanca on 30A.

A succession of cold fronts is rolling across the country and will continue to do so under the current pattern known as "zonal flow", which simply means that the jet stream - the upper air current that steers weather systems - is flowing mainly west to east at the moment.  Thus there are no deep north/south waves in the flow that could result in stalled storm systems and abnormally cold or wet conditions here at the beach.  In fact the seven day precipitation outlook from the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) shows no precipitation accumulation in Santa Rosa Beach (the "x") through next Tuesday, Nov. 12th:

And as far as temperatures go this map - also from the WPC - shows the forecast high temperatures for the lower 48 states this coming Sunday.  Check out the warm temps here versus further north(!):

Thus with pleasant autumn temperatures, little or no rain, and a hurricane season that has fizzled why not consider a stay at Casablanca on 30A to soak in some nice weather before your winter settles in? Might as well soak in a few more rays of sunshine and shirtsleeve conditions before hauling out the parkas!!
