Good Monday all-
Many towns in Connecticut recieved the first flakes of snow for 2015 yesterday, including my house in Naugatuck. This is unusually early to see the first snow, and is just a week later than the record earliest, which occurred on October 10. The good news is that our cold snap is over, and temps will climb into the upper 50s to near 60 today. We'll be in the mid-60s much of the week until a cold front moves through dry on Thursday night, dropping the temps back into the 50s. The next chance of any rain looks to come Sunday as a cold front moves through Connecticut, and there are indications of another cold blast in the early portions of next week. A very early look at Halloween looks rather wet.
In the Atlantic- No development anytime soon
In the Pacific- As expected, the tropical depression in the middle of nowhere became Tropical Storm and now Hurricane Olaf, but it still poses no direct threat to land, though the surf will be kicked up in Hawaii (to the delight of the surfers). The bigger concern is that a low paralleling Mexico is probably going to be Tropical Storm Patricia in the next few days as it is very near.
Today in weather history- October 19, 1961- In West Virginia, a heavy rain changes to a thick and wet snow, and drops as much as two feet in parts of the state, leading to the worst forest disaster in the area since a fire in 1952 as the leaves were still on the trees, causing a similar event to what CT experienced on 10/29/11
