11/11- STORM WATCH ISSUED

Good Tuesday all- Happy Veteran's Day- thanks to all vets for their service to our country.

Unfortunately for snow-haters, the threat of a major nor'easter is looking possible Sunday night into Monday...depending on what happens with the track. Thus, there is a greater than 20% chance of 3+ inches of snow, or 2+ inches of rain, so a storm watch has been issued for all areas from 3 PM Sunday to noon Monday. The exact details are far from certain this far out, however, so that's all I can really say. The other interesting story is that I do think most areas see some flakes Friday morning, which won't accumulate but will still give us the first snow in most locations (Not all- I had mine in Wallingford on 11/1). Somehow, those waiting for a warmup will have to wait, because next week actually looks colder than this week! Yikes! I'll have more on the impending storm Sunday night later this evening.

In the Atlantic & Pacific- No development anytime soon. The brief development window that the low off Mexico had has closed.

Today in weather history- November 11, 1911- One of the more incredible events in meteorological history occurs across the central US. Kansas City, MO, had a morning high of 76, and then...it was snowing hard by mid-afternoon. Another crazy but true event- an F4 tornado hits Janesville, IL, killing 9 people...and then the survivors have to dig out when the rainstorm changes into a blizzard and buries all the damage!
