Arizona Tornado
Meanwhile, it's now officially fall, and we are expecting a La Nina weather pattern once again. The tropics remain active, but so far, still nothing is a threat to the immediate US.

Season's first cold storm system
It's a sign of the times! Chilly weather is moving south from Canada. It will spill down the east side of the Rockies over the next few days.
Numerous freeze watches and warnings have already been posted across the upper midwest states.
The first winter weather advisories of the year have been issued across Colorado. They go into effect for the central mountains starting at 3 p.m. Wednesday. Some locations above 10,000 feet could see up to six inches of snow!
Denver is expecting a chilly rain with temperatures tumbling into the 40s by late Wednesday.

Lee, Maria may soon form in tropics
Two areas of pretty promising development over the next few days ... the most organized one is in the Gulf of Mexico .. and could become Tropical Storm Lee over the weekend.
In the central Atlantic, north of Bermuda, forecasters are tracking an area of disturbed weather that could be named Maria if it materialized.
