Good Monday all-
I hope everyone had a truly special Thanksgiving holiday and that you are now ready to shift your attention to Christmas- just 26 days away!
Today is going to be a rather nippy day overall, with highs in the mid-40s and sunshine, but still below average for this time of year. Tomorrow, however, clouds build in and we will experience rain moving in (and maybe some scattered freezing rain in the very highest of elevations(1000ft+)). Regardless, any frozen precip will quickly shift over to all rain, and it's going to pour essentially all night on Tuesday evening and most of Wednesday, and by the time all is said and done, as much as one inch of rain will have fallen on Connecticut.
The end of the week is a complex setup...but if everything comes together right could yield the first true snow event of the season. Granted, it wouldn't be anything major unless the cold air gets in faster...though the 06z gfs is awfully close on Thursday...but models do agree on a disturbance moving through on Friday that...if timed properly...could drop as much as 1-3" of snow in a worst case scenario. Again, nothing to impactful, but worth watching regardless.
In the Atlantic & Pacific- No development anytime soon.
Today, November 30, 2015, ends both the Atlantic and Pacific hurricane seasons. The final totals for the Atlantic of 11-4-2...are almost exactly the average for the basin...with the most notable storm of the season being Hurricane Joaquin, which nearly reached cat.5 intensity in the Bahamas and gave us in Connecticut a bit of a scare in early October.
The Pacific's final totals of 26-16-11...is among the most active on record for the Pacific basin. In fact, the 11 major hurricanes breaks the all time record for the most on record...while the 16 hurricanes ties 1990, 1992, and 2014 for the most on record in a season. The most notable storm here was late October's Hurricane Patricia- the most intense hurricane recorded in the Atlantic or Pacific having reached 200mph winds, and the first ever category 5 landfall from the Pacific basin.
Today in weather history- November 30, 1875- A ridiculously early season cold snap sends temperatures in New England and the rest of the northeast to amazing levels, with temps ranging from +5 in New York...to -13 in Eastport, ME. Boston was at -2!!
