Great episode today as we preview the first full week of October.
spk_0
But first it's quiz time.
spk_0
Full Moon is Monday.
spk_0
What's the name of the full moon in October?
spk_0
What is this this October full moon?
spk_0
What is its name?
spk_0
It rises tomorrow night. We'll get into the details of that.
spk_0
All right, hang on to that while we go through the week's highlights.
spk_0
We kick off the week with summer this week.
spk_0
Basically it's going to feel like it.
spk_0
The first half of the week and then we sharply transition back to fall when we get through the daily details.
spk_0
We'll talk about that.
spk_0
Our drought status is still considered abnormally dry along with about 65 to 70% of the state.
spk_0
However, every portion of the state is now in some kind of drought.
spk_0
So, and the outer cape is in more severe drought.
spk_0
They're not in severe drought, but they are drier than we are.
spk_0
So, something to keep in mind.
spk_0
This week we lose 19 minutes and 29 seconds of daylight.
spk_0
Sunrise will now be after 6.45 am.
spk_0
And sunset is now approaching 6 p.m.
spk_0
Man, it's getting late earlier and earlier every day.
spk_0
Our rain chance this week looks like mostly Wednesday.
spk_0
It might be a washout.
spk_0
We're not 100% sure.
spk_0
It could be late Tuesday night into Wednesday.
spk_0
A strong cold front comes through.
spk_0
And we go from the upper 70s to near 80 on Monday and Tuesday.
spk_0
A head of the front and only a high temperature in the mid 50s behind the front.
spk_0
Talk about the details of that coming up here in a second.
spk_0
But watching Wednesday for a potential washout.
spk_0
Pick of the week is Monday.
spk_0
High temperature 79 degrees and sunny.
spk_0
If you've been drawing this amazing weekend weather, the crescendo of this is Monday.
spk_0
It's going to be incredible.
spk_0
The tropics are relatively quiet.
spk_0
There is a disturbance forming, but looks like it's going to remain out to sea.
spk_0
But we'll keep an eye on that.
spk_0
And the full moon, although I won't give you the name of it, the full moon rises Monday night at 5.54 p.m.
spk_0
And it's always fun to go watch out over the ocean.
spk_0
That's one of the joys of being here on the ocean.
spk_0
It's watching the moon rise.
spk_0
So 5.54 for full moon rise tomorrow night Monday, the sixth.
spk_0
If you're listening here on the seventh, no, the sixth, the sixth.
spk_0
If you're listening here on Sunday, the fall foliage update.
spk_0
We are probably two weeks away from our peak ish.
spk_0
The way they're saying things are working this year is because of the drought.
spk_0
The peak is fast and furious.
spk_0
The leaves change quick and drop.
spk_0
So that's everything to do with the lack of water in the trees.
spk_0
So we're coming up on it.
spk_0
Lot to great areas of color.
spk_0
I don't know if the leaves have fallen off by the tree.
spk_0
Near the drive through it, gone through two days in green bush.
spk_0
But if you have not seen that tree, that tree is striking.
spk_0
It normally is spectacular.
spk_0
So kind of awesome.
spk_0
And I'll be looking for some foliage.
spk_0
I'm going to be changing a bunch in the next couple of weeks.
spk_0
And then a little preview of the Columbus Day weekend.
spk_0
We'll get to when we get to our daily detailed information here.
spk_0
So all right.
spk_0
Here is the week's preview today.
spk_0
If you're listening on Sunday, more sunshine, high temperature 76, low temperature 58.
spk_0
So a spectacular day today.
spk_0
If you've been out already Monday, the pick of the week, high temperature 79, low temperature 59 and sunny.
spk_0
Tuesday, still pretty awesome.
spk_0
Partly cloudy high temperature 77, low temperature 64.
spk_0
And again, partly cloudy.
spk_0
Wednesday, that cold front comes through.
spk_0
It's a big transition day.
spk_0
Wednesday high temperature down to 67, low temperature 46, rain.
spk_0
Right, rain all day.
spk_0
Might be a quick shot with the cold front.
spk_0
We just don't know yet.
spk_0
So stay tuned to the Facebook group.
spk_0
I'll keep you updated Thursday, though, does look like the clear out.
spk_0
How about this high temperature Thursday 57.
spk_0
That is over 20 degrees cooler than the beginning of the week.
spk_0
Oh, low temperature Thursday night 44.
spk_0
Buckle up for that and windy.
spk_0
It's going to be windy Thursday too.
spk_0
Friday, we warm up just a little bit.
spk_0
High temperature Friday 62.
spk_0
Low temperature Friday night 46 and sunny all day Friday.
spk_0
And then for the Columbus day weekend, high temperature 66, low temperature 52 and partly cloudy on Saturday.
spk_0
And then partly cloudy high temperature 63, low temperature 52 on Sunday.
spk_0
And then a little preview of Monday, chance of showers on Monday, high temperature 64, low temperature 55.
spk_0
So the two of the three days for the long weekend look awesome.
spk_0
So there you have it.
spk_0
That is the week.
spk_0
Get ready for some rain Wednesday.
spk_0
Stay tuned to the Facebook group.
spk_0
Keep you posted on that.
spk_0
And now it's quiz time.
spk_0
What's the name of the October full moon?
spk_0
So the full moon rising tomorrow evening.
spk_0
Let's go back for a second at 5.54 p.m.
spk_0
Is the full harvest moon.
spk_0
So the harvest moon can be in either September or October.
spk_0
It's the full moon.
spk_0
That's the closest to the Atominal Equinox.
spk_0
And so some months it's in September.
spk_0
Some months it's in October.
spk_0
This month it happens to be October because it's rising closest to the Atominal Equinox.
spk_0
So the full harvest moon Monday night.
spk_0
There you have it.
spk_0
All right, everybody.
spk_0
Thanks for listening.
spk_0
Hope you have an awesome week.
spk_0
The weather looks great.
spk_0
Wednesday looks like an inside day.
spk_0
The rest of the week looks amazing.
spk_0
Maybe jump down the beach Monday or Tuesday.
spk_0
Water's still pretty warm.
spk_0
59 to 61 for water temperatures.
spk_0
So still very doable.
