10/21- Warm!

Good Wednesday all-

Today is going to be a beautiful, beautiful day, featuring highs in the 70s and bright sunshine. That's amazing for this time of year! Even better, we get to do it again tomorrow...though tomorrow has the potential to feature a few isolated showers in the late afternoon/early evening hours in association with a cold front that is moving on through. The weekend, as a result, will be seasonably cool with highs in the 60s. Additionally, Sunday morning has the potential of including a few rain showers. The early part of next week looks like very typical October weather- low 60s and sunshine.

A large storm of some kind now looks rather likely very near or on Halloween...of course, forecasting it more than a mention is a guessing game 10 days out.

In the Atlantic- There are far better ways to spend this beautiful day than watching the Atlantic, so enjoy it (No development anytime soon)

In the Pacific- Mexico is in trouble from newly formed Tropical Storm Patricia, as the storm will intensify while paralleling the coast, then make an abnormal turn north to lead to a rather rare direct landfall, likely as an intense hurricane. Hopefully, this doesn't pan out, but it sure looks likely.

Today in weather history- October 21, 1988- Hurricane Joan makes its' final landfall in Nicaragua at peak intensity with 145mph winds, a highly unusual landfall location, especially this late in October. Not only that, the storm never, in its' lifespan, passes above 12 degrees north. This is a hugely abnormal storm, and one that would be very hard to duplicate, especially in late October!!


Marty McFly will be arriving in slightly over ten hours. I hope he enjoys the pleasant weather!
