9/30- Nor'easter misses Weds, but not Sat?

Good Tuesday everyone! :)

Today is going to be very nice indeed. I doubt greatly that we get any rain today, and the clouds are going to be really nice in that they should keep temps down as well. A cold front moved through overnight, and so temps may be trapped in the 60s today...and tomorrow...and in fact for the foreseeable future. Certainly we may see 70 again, and it may even happen in the next seven, but it is going to be just barely if we do make it there this week. Showers are possible today...and tomorrow...and Thursday...with then a torrential rainstorm possible Saturday in a combination cold front and nor'easter. Now that would be nice in terms of the fact that we really do need the rain, but the timing couldn't be much worse!

In the Atlantic- Development is not expected anytime soon

In the Pacific- Rachel weakened to a tropical storm and will likely die out today, but it is probably going to be replaced by Simon by Thursday.

Today in weather history- September 30, 1971- One of the oddest tracks in the history of the Atlantic basin as Hurricane Ginger reverses course completely and hits the outer banks as a category one hurricane after spending 20 days as a hurricane, the longest timeframe of any 'cane to spend at that intensity.



Is that not the strangest thing ever? Ginger's track in '71
