Steam rises off the relatively warm waters of the Kemptville Creek at sunrise this morning.
I can't believe it was 6C this morning in Kemptville. I don't want summer to go just yet. This is way too fast in my opinion. Tonight there is a real threat of frost away from any bodies of water. Clear skies and light winds, will allow frost to form in many areas as temperatures head towards 3 or 4C. A frost advisory is out for parts of New York State and scattered across New England and New Brunswick. I imaging they will be posted as well for parts of Quebec and Ontario later today. So if you have any tender items in the garden, you might want to cover them up. It will warm up into the weekend with scattered showers.
Hurricane Ike is getting back together after hammering Cuba and the Florida keys all day yesterday. Winds were recorded at 66mph in Key West and 118mph in Cuba. Flooding rain and heavy surf also pounded Cuba yesterday with waves as high as 50 feet. A state of emergency has been declared in 88 Texas counties as they prepare for the arrival of Ike late Friday and Saturday. Forecasters are expecting Ike to regain category 3 strength as he slides across the warm waters of the Gulf. Expect landfall at this time close to Corpus Christie. Afterwards I had expected Ike to remain in south Texas or Mexico and rain itself out as most storms in the southern Gulf do. It now appears Ike will take a sharp right hand turn and get caught up in a weather system moving across the central US. We may see the remains of Ike as a heavy rainstorm some time late in the weekend or Monday.
