Weather It Is (Sukkah Rain and Wind)

Good Evening:

There is palatable relief among the "people" has Yom Kippur comes to an end, and we all hope to have been sealed into this year's "Book Of Life."

We had one of the most beautiful weather Yom-Kippurs in quite a while -- in fact that I can remember. It was exquisitely sunny with deep blue skies.

The forecast for this winter season is above normal rain amounts, and already the weather maps are indicating a turn towards a more "winter" type later this week.  The Global Ensemble Forecast System model is indicating a sharp downturn in temperatures as we head into Sukkot.  It should also turn very windy, so you'll need to take extra care and batten down the Sukkah hatches.

Their is a strong potential for rain late Friday, greater than 50%.  The amounts could be substantial, but right now we're too far out to say anything differently.

I read that the United States rejects the equality between ISIS and Hamas -- I guess this is because Hamas just seeks to kill us (for now), while ISIS has turned its messianic wrath on other nations as well.  This is a time of potential change for the Jewish people -- starting off a new year.  Let's hope the world will not fall further backwards into barbarity.

Shana Tova,
