Hurricane Dorian Means Hot, Dry Weather Locally
September 2, 2019
Our week will be warmer and drier than a typical first week of September because of Hurricane Dorian.
The National Weather Service in Mobile explains:
“The hurricane releases a lot of heat much like your car engine releases heat when its running. When heat is released into the atmosphere it creates high pressure away from the hurricane. This high pressure means that air is sinking and as air sinks it warms and becomes drier. Since Dorian is going to move WELL away from our area we will see this drier warmer air.
“This is actually the same reason people talk about the ‘calm before the storm.’ The sinking air on the outside of a hurricane makes for dry, calm and warm weather before and after the storm. Temps in the mid 90s with dewpoints in the mid 60s Wednesday through Thursday.”
