Nalgae lost some of it's energy sideswiping Hainan.

The center of the storm is expected over our area Thursday morning.
Expect further storm energy loss as it makes landfall along the Vietnam coast
Rain Thursday morning, then mostly cloudy.
Occasional rain and Thunderstorms are forecast through the following week.
Rain gear should be kept handy during the upcoming Wax Castle Festival.



Very noticeable at Weather Underground

is the drop of ocean surface water temperature.
The hottest (red) regions are shrinking.
Colder temperatures (blue) are migrating south
Obviously this will mean more moderate weather.


Flooding related illnesses and diseases are on the increase.  
If you happen to wade through standing water it is highly recommended that exposed areas be washed as soon as possible.

Expect the price of Rice to Rise
