9/29- Like rain? If so, this is the forecast for you!

Good Monday all-

Today is going to be mostly cloudy predominantly, with some light rain possible in the afternoon. In fact, the feat will be repeated tomorrow...and then comes Wednesday. Although the forecast for that day is largely dependent on the track of a nor'easter, we can be reasonably certain that rain will come, but it will likely be only light. Thursday and Friday look nice, but it appears now (granted we are still a ways off) that Saturday will be a complete washout with torrential rain. That would be horrible timing, granted, but we could really use the rain for sure!

In the Atlantic- Wednesday's nor'easter has a 20% chance of becoming Tropical Storm Fay, but I don't really think it will. On the computer models, it looks to me to be a bit more of a cold-core non-tropical system. Otherwise, no threat for development.

In the Pacific- Rachel unexpectedly became the season's 11th hurricane in the Pacific, but it is no threat to land. However, we are far from in the clear, as I expect Tropical Storm Simon to form this week south of Mexico where it seems so many storms have formed this season.

Today in weather history- September 29, 1925- The next time that you think it's pouring outside...it probably isn't raining this hard as 1.75 inches of rain falls in Haughton Grove, Jamaica in a total of...3 minutes! Establishing the world record for three minute rainfall.
