On Saturday driving over Mt Thom the blueberry fields next to the highway were beaming bright red as they usually do in late October. This and others also stand out in high-resolution satellite image.

Will Hurricane Melissa play any role in Atlantic Canada's weather? Still too early to know. There may be some wind/rain around Halloween even without Melissa. Here is a model prediction of the weather pattern Friday. #nswx

High-res weather model rainfall forecast from the cold front tonight (1st image) and from sea-effect cold showers in the NW winds behind it (2nd image). Some of the peak amounts may be overdone but gives an idea of pattern and areas to expect some drought relief. #nswx #pewx

View of George Lake fire as of Saturday Oct 4. Note the fire break around edge by dozers (looks like winding logging road). Foliage color change apparent as well. #nswx

Noticed that as well on my stroll - here late. Took a couple snaps.

Cooler airmass today ... this afternoon large cumulus cloud buildup and likely showers into evening with sunny intervals. Don't be shocked if you see some small hail (ice pellets) during the showers with temperature drop below 10C. Low freezing level around 4500 ft (1300m). #nswx #pewx

Comp of satellite imagery from a) late Aug '25 (before fall colors), b) late Sept '25 and c) late Sept '22. Presence of fall colors more prominent and earlier than normal ('22 was near normal) this year - possibly changing sooner due stress from drought and cooler/dry nights. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Model forecast for middle of next week showing general position and possible cloud pattern associated with Hurricane Humberto and TD9/Imelda. Atlantic Canada not expected to have to contend with these storms, but will update if that changes.

The drought has been so pronounced that the effects are discernible in satellite imagery. Here is a comparison with mid September last year. Note the yellow/brown agricultural lands compared to generally greener ones a year prior.
