Gordon and Helene...
* Hurricane Gordon sure looks impressive on satellite imagery this evening...Max sustained winds are now up to 120 mph, making Gordon the season's first major (Cat 3 or stronger) hurricane. Thankfully, Gordon is not going to threaten any part of the U.S. mainland. Here's Gordon:
* Gordon is compact, yet quite intense.
* HELENE: T.D. 8 had been upgraded to Tropical Storm Helene. This will be a storm to keep an eye on, however, it does still seem likely that it will eventually curve out to sea before striking the East Coast. At any rate, it's quite difficult to envision a scenario in which Helene enters the Gulf of Mexico. But, we'll watch. Here's the latest model guidance on Helene:

* AROUND HERE: Looks pretty nice. Highs in the middle 80's for the next couple of days, but we warm up a bit by this weekend (highs near 90 for Sat. and Sun.) Rain chances increase dramatically on Monday with the approach of a front. That same front will deliver a nice shot of cooler air around the middle of next week.
