Weather It Is (Falling Into Fall Weather Changes)

Good Evening:

The weather is moving into Fall-mode.  Temperatures are forecast to fall off substantially over the next couple of weeks.  At the surface, though, temperatures will still be warm under the October sun. However, aloft temperatures will be cooling and humidities increasing.  

Our first chance for showers is tomorrow, Tuesday, as colder air and humidity advects into the upper layers of the atmosphere.  This quick moving shot of cooler air will be followed by a deeper trough late this week or early next week, which could bring us our first rain.  

Of course my wife will act surprised when all this comes about. She'll probably go to school dressed for spring and come home a bit wet from the rain.  Why does this happen -- after-all, she has access to first hand information, right from the horse's mouth, so to speak?

Well, I can't really answer that, but I can tell you that the advent and length of the holidays is always a  bit of a surprise (even though they seem to come every year about the same time).  It was under these circumstances that I became a bit uncoiffed. In fact, it got so bad my wife made me sleep at a friends home until my hair was shortened and eyebrows were properly trimmed.  The good news is -- as implied -- I'm back home now.

Just prior to my unceremonious dismissal, a very strange thing happened. We were having a discussion about the leftover tuna and  I asked my wife to decide whether I should go ahead and eat it or not.  I asked a few times, until she finally said: "you decide."  I think this was the first decision I made since just after we were married, when I decided to let my wife decide -- everything.  

Euphoria set in, but it was short lived. I was left with the question: was it because it was the tuna, and who knows what might have lurked within? Would she still let me make this decision now that I am -- with her approval -- coiffed?

Be well,
