10/12- Not bad to start, frigid weekend

Good Monday all-

Happy Columbus Day, enjoy the day off-

Today is going to be absolutely stunning, and likely the last truly "warm" day of 2015. Temperatures will be in the upper 70s to near 80 in some cases, with partly cloudy skies and generally beautiful conditions. As we move into tomorrow, however, changes begin. Although the temps will still be moderate, a cold front will move through, as might a few scattered showers from a coastal storm passing well to our southeast. This means that, generally, tomorrow's forecast will feature a significant chance of rain, as the cold front will also have showers with it. Although it won't be a total washout, I'd still recommend your umbrella. The rest of the week will feel distinctly cooler with mid-60s for highs on both Wednesday and Thursday. Another cold front will move through on Friday, producing what may be a round of heavier rain in the overnight. This will really knock temperatures down. Highs over the weekend may never touch 60, and some areas likely will see the first freeze of the season. It wouldn't even surprise me to see a snow flurry or two in the higher elevations of western Connecticut.

In the Atlantic- There are far, far better ways to spend this beautiful fall day over watching the Atlantic for development. This includes watching  paint dry. (no development anytime soon)

In the Pacific- A low off Mexico could will probably become a tropical storm, but it doesn't matter as it poses no threat to land. Tropical Storm Nora in the central Pacific may effect Hawaii, but its' doubtful it will be strong enough to have any noticeable impact on the islands.

Today in weather history- October 12, 1962- A major windstorm strikes the Pacific Northwest, bringing hurricane conditions to the region, with 100mph gusts and causing significant tree damage and power outages. 48 people are killed, and $210 million (1962 USD) is caused by the storm
