A nice cold front has moved into the area recently. Yesterday we had some downpours out ahead of it. But as the storms moved into the metro, they fizzled out. Today temperatures will drop about 10-15 degrees compared to yesterday's high temps. It will feel a little like Fall. The average high temperature for this time of year is 81 degrees. Highs will be in the low-mid 70s. Also, we are picking up on the rainfall. We got some fair amounts from Hanna last weekend. About 2.5 inches at Norfolk International. This morning we got another good soaking through most of the area. Hopefully, this will help the pumpkin patches as the pumpkin picking gets underway in less than a month.
Ike is still a hurricane after surviving hours over land on Cuba. It has now re-emerged and will now intensify over the warm Gulf waters. It will probably be a major hurriance in 36-72 hours. It's currently forecasted to move towards South Texas. The most likely path puts it near Corpus Christi by Satuday morning.

I am one of the meteorologists at WAVY-TV. I grew up in Illinois, but I've been in the Southeast for several years now. I've had experience with every type of weather from floods to blizzards to hurricanes. I've even been able to chase tornadoes in an educational organization. I look forward to talking to people about Hampton Roads weather.
