11/10- Here comes the freezer

Good Monday all-

Welcome to a new week of weather! I'll begin with the forecast

Today: Mostly Sunny, highs in the low to mid 50s

Tomorrow (Steve's pick of the week): Partly cloudy, highs near 60!!

Wednesday: A low chance (20-30%) of scattered showers. Highs in the low 50s.

Thursday: Sunny but way colder. Highs in the low 40s

Friday (Steve's clunker of the week): A wintry mix in the morning, followed by frigid temperatures. Highs in the high 30s!

Saturday: Sunny with highs near 40.

Sunday: Increasing clouds, highs around 45

Essentially, the story of this week is the cold, and the passing by of several nor'easters just far enough to our southeast that we'll get some clouds, but not much else of anything. Tomorrow is going to be beautiful, but it's probably the last time we get anywhere near that number until spring. We then get plunged into the arctic blast that has been hyped so much in the news this week (AND IT ISN'T THE POLAR VORTEX!). A pair of nor'easters then misses Wednesday and Friday. Unfortunately, the arctic plunge will drop lows to the low 20s, or upper teens on Thursday night! Otherwise, a huge storm is possible next Monday, but it lies just outside my 7 day forecast. The threat, however, of an impactful storm is high enough to, should current information remain where it is, issue a storm watch on Wednesday.

In the Atlantic- Development is not expected anytime soon. It's entirely possible that the season is over, as conditions are unfavorable pretty much everywhere.

In the Pacific- A tropical depression may form off the coast of Mexico today, but it won't be strong and it won't survive long as it will hit Mexico and enter unfavorable conditions.

Today in weather history- November 10, 2002- A powerful cold front leads to a very late-season severe outbreak which ultimately spawns an F4 tornado in Van Wert County, Ohio. On the same day, a mile-wide tornado kills 12 people in Mossy Grove, TN.
