11/17- STORM WARNING

Good Monday everyone-

Today is going to be a truly miserable day- the worst possible day, quite honestly. Not only are temperatures going to be in the low 40s or high 30s, but it is going to pour pretty much all day. In fact, 1-2" of rain are very possible as a storm system essentially passes directly over our heads this morning. For most of our area, it was rain the entire time, though northern Hartford County, for example, could have a few icy patches, but there are no school delays in this area. Thus, the storm warning will remain in place until 5 PM this evening. Beyond today, however, while it will be dry, it will simply be really, really cold. We may not even hit the freezing point on Wednesday...so now let's look at the 7-day!

Today- (Steve's clunker of the year!)- Pouring rain and temps in the low-40s or high 30s. One to two inches of rain possible. YIKES!

Tomorrow- Clearing but cold. Highs in the high 30s.

Wednesday- Absolutely frigid. Highs in the high 20s and low 30s.

Thursday, Friday, & Saturday- More pleasant, with sunny conditions and highs near 40.

Sunday- (Steve's pick of the week)- Much better- sunny skies and temps near 50!

In the Atlantic & Pacific- No development anytime soon. 13 days until the end of the Atlantic and Pacific hurricane seasons.

Today in weather history- November 17, 2013- An EF4 tornado hits Washington, IL, killing 8 people. In a odd event, a different severe thunderstorm suspends the Chicago Bears home game as the team evacuated the stands for two hours (highly unusual since the NFL will literally play through almost anything).
