Thursday November 4

Colder air has settled in across more of the region, but a band of clouds with a southern storm track has limited how cold. It may also limit temperatures today timing the sun in southern areas. 

We will continue to watch that southern track for a weekend storm. That looks like it will miss us this weekend, but worth watching closely for any bump in track.

While the next few mornings will continue to be frosty, and the afternoon remain up to 10 degrees cooler than normal, temps will warm back up next week. 

Morning Surface Weather

The most notable feature this morning is the band of clouds slicing our region in half. This helped keep temps in southern areas from dropping even lower. It will continue to split the region this afternoon with who gets into the sunshine.

Morning Temperatures

What to wear?

A few layers and a jacket! With more clouds south and west, it may actually feel colder today, but temps should be similar to yesterday.

Looking Ahead:

Wide View Surface Weather

There is an active storm track that will continue to be suppressed to the south.  This is based off of the cold air mass holding in place and keeping that storm track just to our south. 

Weekend Coastal Storm

The next storm is worth watching for two reasons. 

1. It may show if there is a bias or error in the modeling for mid range forecasting. 
2. That storm could develop into a tropical system in the open Atlantic, and bee named with the loop back to the top of the alphabet.
