11/28- Rainy Week, Active Pattern

Good Monday all-

It may be chilly out there this morning, but we'd expect nothing less in late November, and we are going to be heading to the upper 40s today, which is almost exactly average for this time of year. Sunshine will be the dominant force today, but that will all change as we head into tomorrow. A double barrelled, three-day long rainstorm shall commence in the afternoon hours tomorrow, and it will be pouring at times through tomorrow afternoon...all of Wednesday...and much of Thursday, though some clearing is likely on Thursday afternoon. Each day, temps will be seasonable (except Wednesday, where the placement of a low to our west will cause temperatures to soar into the upper 50s to near 60 in places. Beyond that, however, temperatures drop through the floor...some areas may have a rather difficult time getting out of the 30s on the weekend days, especially Sunday, but no precipitation is in the vicinity. No sign of any significant snow is on the horizon, but that could change in about two weeks, and I will keep you posted right here!

The Atlantic and Pacific are predictably quiet, since the hurricane season ends Thursday, but Hurricane Otto made a landfall on Thanksgiving day in extreme southern Nicaragua, near the Costa Rican border, becoming the southernmost landfall in the history of Central America, killing at least 21 people and doing significant damage in the region.

Today in weather history- November 28, 1921- Worcester, MA...as well as much of our area...is under siege by a monstrous icestorm that leaves over three inches of ice in many locations, doing significant damage and making streets unpassable...even by walking. D'oh!
