What a terrific start to November. It has been dry and mild. Great news for the farmers and great for our mental health. We will be well above average in the temperature department all weekend.

There is a chance of some spotty showers on Sunday. Most of us will just deal with the clouds. The heat continues next week, and we stay dry, too.

In so doing, this potentially destructive storm steered clear of busy Cancun and Cozumel on eastern Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. This was also true of westernmost Cuba, which weathered some outer squalls of Ida, but little else.
