The first full week of October features a mild west and NE, with cooler conditions than average in the SE...centered in Louisiana...and near normal temperatures elsewhere. On aggregate, a near normal pattern over the US. TX may be quite wet for the first week of October as moisture surges N from the Gulf of Mexico. The desert SW may also get some heavy rain from the remains of Hurricane Miriam as it moves north and decays over the Baja.

This week will keep most of the weather action in Canada as the main Jet Stream shifts north. A weak cold front will intensify a bit over the Ohio Valley on Wednesday, then shift slowly east and stall on a line from Philadelphia to north Texas by Friday. Tx should see quite a bit of thunderstorm activity Thursday and through the weekend.

NG injections to be reported this Thursday should be near to slightly below normal. There may have been a little heating demand over the upper Midwest last week.
