Today is going to be fine, but the big weather story is what is going to occur tomorrow. The computer models last night decided to shift some 150-200 miles west with the nor'easter last night...so much so that it's actually now too close to the shoreline to produce snow. The problem is that it's going to be a gigantic rainstorm tomorrow, and a total washout, with frigid temps (in the 40s!). Yikes. It may end as some wet snow in most (if not all) areas, but accumulation is unlikely. As we move forward, though, Sunday looks nice, but absolutely frigid...and I doubt most areas get higher than 45-48. In fact, the early part of next week appears considerably warmer than normal, and most areas will see temperatures in the high-50s and low 60s. By Thursday, though, a rainstorm will come through and knock down the temperatures back to where the should be for November (low to mid 50s, though 60 degree days are not uncommon early in the month). As much of a change that this month of October is, November is even more so. A month from now, if we haven't had our first big snowfall, it will likely be close to occurring.
In the Atlantic- No development anytime soon.
In the Pacific- Tropical Storm Vance formed at last last night, and is located some 450 miles south of Acapulco. Unfortunately, it is expected to make a dramatic northeast turn, and likely pose a threat to the Mexican mainland just south of the Baja by about Wednesday.
Today in weather history- October 31, 1876- A hurricane (called a cyclone in that region of the world) moves across the Bay of Bengal and clobbers northeast India, and demolishes an area that is vastly underdeveloped but densely populated, and one hundred thousand people are killed. Today, the situation is still the same but with dramatically more people and, in fact, it is believed that a similar storm could kill a million people.
