Good Thursday all-
Today is going to be quite cold indeed. Last night's showers were associated with a cold front, and therefore it's going to be a much colder day today. I doubt temps reach 60 for most of us, and a 58 degree high temperature is likely being a tad generous for most. Either way, it's going to be a dry day, so it could be worse. Halloween looks fine, as the weather stays cool and dry. Saturday, rain moves in, and it appears as though it will rain for a significant portion of the day. Overnight, some flurries or light snow showers are possible without any accumulation. After that, we finally warm up, and the next chance for rain after that doesn't come until Wednesday afternoon.
In the Atlantic- No development anytime soon.
In the Pacific- After a day or so of delaying the inevitable, Tropical Depression 21-E has formed, and could become a hurricane heading directly for the Mexico mainland. Certainly it's worth watching!
Today in weather history- October 30, 1991- A coastal storm absorbs Hurricane Grace, which then rapidly intensifies in the Gulf of Maine and crushes New England with extreme wind and rain. One thousand homes are either damaged or totaled, with 4 to 7 foot surge and extreme winds for most. Chatham, MA, for example, sees a 78 mph gust. Eventually, the storm acquires a warm core and becomes a hurricane moving away from New England. By the time all is said and done, this becomes known as the "perfect storm" and is still very much an important chapter in New England weather lore.
