...Cool Period Ahead...

Skies cleared overnight across the state as drier air continued to
filter in from the northwest. A few light showers and even some sleet
was reported before the clouds and precipitation moved out.
Temperatures fell into the 30s, but a persistent north wind overnight
prevented frost from forming.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: Sunshine will greet the day, and the day will be
mostly sunny. A few stratocumulus clouds may pop up later this
morning, but they will likely evaporate as the day goes on. Highs
will top out right around 50 degrees, with a few folks on the 40s
side, a few north of there. It will be clear and cool tonight, with
lows in the 30s again. The models think it will be warmer tonight
than last night, which I really don't get. There will be some frost,
and isolated colder spots may see a freeze.

DRY WEEK AHEAD: Monday will dawn sunny, and get used to it. Sunshine
will rule the week ahead. We will stay in a northwesterly flow aloft
for much of the week,
and this means a couple of reinforcing shots of cool air will ship in
later. One such shot will arrive with little to no fanfare Monday
night, knocking a couple of degrees off Tuesday highs. We will edge
back up to near 60 on Wednesday and Thursday before another fresh
supply of cooler air arrives during the day on Thursday. This will
set the stage for possibly the coldest night of the week Thursday
night, when widespread lows in the 20s will be expected.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Saturday looks like a chilly day, with some clouds
and maybe even a little light rain. With thickness values expected to
be on the cold side, there could even be a few snow flurries with
highs in the 40s. Sunday should be sunny and cool.

VOODOOLAND: The GFS keeps hinting at a post Thanksgiving storm
system that could be a factor in the Iron Bowl. Hmmm. Could be a
heavy rain producer. Could lead to severe weather. Could be gone by
the next run. That's why we call it voodooland.

TROPICS: The Atlantic tropical season may be just about over. No
disturbances of note across the Atlantic, Caribbean or Gulf. The
global models don't depict any development over the next two weeks
either, and this will just about take us out of the official season,
which ends on November 30.

TORNADO FATALITY UPDATE: The two fatalities reported in the North
Carolina tornado early Friday morning moved the tornado fatality count
for 2008 to 125. This makes 2008 the tenth deadliest year for
tornadoes in U.S. history.

ON THIS DATE IN 1989: A continuation of previous day's severe
weather outbreak produced 22 tornadoes from Virginia to New York
State. At 12:05pm, a straight-line wind gust blew down the cafeteria
wall at the East Oldenham Elementary School near Newburg NY. Nine
students were killed. In official records, the storm is listed as
weak tornado, making it the deadliest tornado in New York history,
even though it really was not a tornado. A lady was killed in
Manhattan when an I-beam was blown from a 21 story building.
