11/14- A Heavy Rainstorm Tomorrow, Watching the Weekend

Good Monday all-

Today is going to be absolutely beautiful, with highs in the high 50s/low 60s with bright sunshine...which is beautiful for this time of the year!  Tomorrow, however, appears to be a total washout- thank goodness! We really need the rain, and this will help with 1-2" of rain likely during the day tomorrow as a coastal low passes directly over our head during your Tuesday. The rest of the week looks very good- in fact, exceedingly similar to today, and maybe even a bit warmer for the last part of the week.

I am, however, watching either Sunday or next Monday for the potential of at least some snow falling in Connecticut. This will occur from a very highly complex and bizarre setup...and although I could type several paragraphs on what could happen...it will only confuse you. So just keep in the back of your mind that there is about a 20% chance of a light but noticeable accumulating snow around a week from now.

^^ This is a strange way to get snow, but it would work and needs to be watched

Tropical Storm Tina unexpectedly formed in the Pacific this weekend, but it is already on its' weakening phase. The bigger concern lies in the Atlantic, where Tropical Storm Otto appears to be forming in the central Caribbean and is generally heading for Hispanola. That's the last thing they need as they continue to recover from Hurricane Matthew's devastating strike a bit over a month ago.

Today in weather history- November 14, 1987- A really amazing pattern shift, although not unheard of at all at this highly variable time of year, sends DC from digging out from over a foot of snow three days prior to highs near 70 degrees on this date. That's a snow eating temperature if I ever saw one!
