Good Thursday all-
The forecast remains almost identical to yesterday, with perhaps a somewhat increased risk of snow in the overnight on Sunday/Monday as a clipper system tries to move through the region. There would be no accumulation, but some towns, especially west of I-91, will likely see some flakes flying for the first time this season. The other question is how low the temps will go on Sunday night- some models are now indicating 25ish for the colder spots, but certainly everyone is getting a hard freeze!
Don't go to north New Hampshire this weekend, as they are expecting a major snowstorm.
In the Atlantic- Cold weather in the northeast is much more interesting than watching a dead quiet Atlantic basin (no development anytime soon)
In the Pacific- Tropical Depression #19-E has formed, and will become Tropical Storm Olaf later this afternoon. It should strengthen into a hurricane as well, but it poses no threat to any land mass.
Today in weather history- October 15, 1954- In a storm many up and down the east coast still remember, Hurricane Hazel makes its' final landfall on the border between North and South Carolina at peak intensity, a 130-mph cat 4. It survives as a storm with tropical storm-force winds all the way up the east coast and into Toronto, causing the modern equivalent of $3 billion in damage, killing between 500 and 1,000 people, and becoming one of the most notorious hurricanes in recorded history. Most people born before 1947 or so will likely have a strong memory of this unique event, so if you desire more info, most people will know what you are referring to if they are old enough to have experienced this remarkable event.
