11/7- Standard Week Ahead for November

Good Monday all-

First off, I sincerely apologize and beg forgiveness for not updating last week. My life was a bit of a mess, but things have certainly resolved themselves and now I can go back to focusing on this :)

Today is going to be a pretty average day for early November, with highs in the low 50s and partly sunny skies...well, who am I kidding? It's going to be like this for most of the next week. The exceptions are tomorrow- which will be a rather warm 63- and Wednesday- which will feature rain in the afternoon. The other bump in the forecast comes on Saturday, which will feature highs struggling to reach 40 (This is nearly fifteen degrees below average) with snow flurries a distinct possibility statewide, but especially in areas along and north of I-84 as the lake effect machine kicks into gear for the first time this winter. As we head into next week, however, the weather looks to become rather active and we begin to really ramp up the rain and snow chances.

There is no development likely in either the Atlantic or Pacific basins- and there are just 24 days remaining in the hurricane season.

Today in weather history- November 7, 1940- The infamous 'Galloping Gertie' bridge in Tacoma, WA collapses in a strong windstorm just four months after opening. Miraculously, nobody is killed, but bridges were constructed with spans that differ in size (as the cause of the collapse was largely linked to the fact that the spans were the same)

No excuses to not vote tomorrow- and if you don't, then you are not allowed to complain about the results!
