Pleasant, not perfect weekend weather

Read full article: Pleasant, not perfect weekend weather

Mindy was really a waste of a Tropical Storm, lasting only hours as a tropical storm and remaining super weak, we had very little rainfall and a gust of wind to 33 mph. Those morning breezes Thursday were actually a little relief from recent toasty temperatures. So weak was Mindy, as she moved away, she was unable to clear our skies and coastal showers and this is why our weekend weather will be pleasant, not perfect.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – At 5 p.m. the center of Tropical Storm Zeta was crossing the Louisiana coast. The center of Hurricane Zeta was located near latitude 29.2 North, longitude 90.6 West. Weakening will occur while Zeta moves over the southeastern United States on Thursday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles. This year’s season has so many storms that the hurricane center had to turn to the Greek alphabet after running out of official names for only the second time in history.
