...Clouds Hang Tough...

A persistent easterly flow is strengthening this morning as high
pressure over the Northeast U.S. flexes its muscle into the
Southeast. That combined with that upper low over southern Georgia is
producing the flow which is bringing in ots of Atlantic moisture. The
low will open up into a wave of low pressure and rotate around the
apex of the ridge. This will produce the possibility of a few showers
later today and on Monday, but rainfall will be light and spotty.
Highs today will be mainly in the upper 70s, but a few spots will be
cooler because of the cloudiness.

THE WEEK AHEAD: Monday will likely look a lot like today with
considerable cloudiness and a few light showers along with a continued
easterly breeze. Highs will again be in the 70s to around 80
depending on the amount of sunshine. In fact, sunshine should begin
to increase Monday afternoon. High pressure will be sliding south and
will move into Georgia by Tuesday or Wednesday. This should give us
some rather fine weather during the midweek period. By Thursday, a
cold front will be approaching from the northwest and that means
showers or storms by late Thursday into Friday. Fine weather should
be back for the weekend.

NATIONAL NOTES: The season's first big winter storm brought snow to
the northern Rockies, severe storms to New Mexico and record cold to
the West. Numerous reports of at least one foot of snow have
continued to roll in from Montana. A tornado touched down late last
night along I-70 near Goodland, Kansas. Another was reported in New
Mexico near Stanley. Severe weather is possible today from New Mexico
to western Kansas. The 32F reading at Astoria, Oregon this morning
is one of several record lows for the date that were observed across
the West. Ditto for Winslow, AZ at 21F. The high on Saturday at
McCarran International in Las Vegas was just 60F, smashing the record
cool high for the date. The previous day's high was 90F. It was the
greatest two day temperature drop at Vegas in thirty years. Frost
advisories were in effect for the valleys around San Francisco. As
high pressure settles into the Great Basin, Santa Ana winds will begin
to blow over Southern California. This combined with humidities in
the single digits will produce wildfire conditions.

TROPICS: The tropical wave over the eastern Caribbean is in a
hostile environment currently, but the models continue to be bullish
on the idea of a tropical storm forming. It likely would take a
course to the north and northeast over Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands and out into the Atlantic. There is still a disturbance 1,600
miles east of the islands. It has an area of low pressure associated
with it and a tropical depression could form, but wind shear will tear
apart any system that forms as it moves northward out into the Atlantic.

ON THIS DATE IN 2006: Buffalo's earliest lake effect snowstorm on
record dumped 8.3 inches of snow on the city, setting a new record for
the most snow on any October day. The record didn't last long, as
10.9 inches fell on the 13th, breaking the new record. A total of
22.6 inches fell during the storm, the largest October snowstorm in
the city's history. With trees still in full leaf, the heavy, wet
snow brought down tree limbs and power lines. Ninety percent of the
city's trees suffered damage. The storm was nicknamed "Arborgeddon"
by local residents.
