Good Tuesday all-
Today is going to be significantly warmer than the other recent days, with temperatures in the mid-60s and bright sunshine. Happily, this pattern change for the better will last for three days, as similar conditions will be prevalent through Thursday afternoon- when we will likely hit 70. Thursday night, a few scattered showers are possible as a cold front moves through, but I expect most people will stay dry at the present time. Unfortunately, you will feel the effect- Friday looks to feature highs in the mid-50s, which is slightly below average for this time of year. 60s look to dominate this weekend, but it looks as though somewhere between Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon will feature some rain showers.
How unusual was the snow Sunday? It's just the fifth time in the last 110 years that snow was recorded at BDL...and that's saying something. That correlates to about one October snowfall every 22 years...so to have had now 2 in 4 years is something (we all remember the ridiculous 10/29/11 storm, I'm sure).
In the Atlantic- A low right on the Yucatan has a tiny chance of developing, but it's so unlikely it is barely worth mentioning. For the most part, then, the Atlantic remains quiet.
In the Pacific- A new tropical storm is developing off the coast of Mexico, but it poses no direct threat to land (though surf will surely be kicked up). Additionally, Olaf has rapidly intensified into a category 4 hurricane, and it could become a category 5, but thankfully poses no threat to Hawaii or any other land areas.
Today in weather history- October 20- Today is one of those days that nothing of any significance has happened in the weather world, unfortunately.
