10/7- Really bizarre weather event

Good Tuesday everyone!

Today is going to be a rather wet day, with showers in the morning and, although we dry out by the middle of the day, the showers return later tonight. Overnight tonight there is a chance of a late (and I mean really late, like 2-5 AM) severe thunderstorm. Yes, there could really be severe weather early tomorrow morning, which would be highly unusual, but not unprecedented in our region. Beyond that, only Friday night and Monday night pose any rain threat, with temps very similar to where we were yesterday.

In the Atlantic- What do you think? Tropical development is not expected anytime soon. In fact, the basin is so quiet right now that I have to wonder if the season is over. If so, this is the least active hurricane season since 1994.

In the Pacific- See yesterday, there has been no change.

Today in weather history- October 7, 1962- Hurricane Daisy passes just offshore of eastern New England, dropping a foot of rain on the region and causing massive flooding. Additionally, a nor'easter had just moved through the day prior with more rain, adding fuel to the fire. Damage exceeded $10 million.
