A Look Ahead...

I'm the kind of meteorologist that's always looking for the next big storm. Big storms really aren't common this time of year, so it's more about looking ahead to the next cold snap or chance of snow. We may have such an occurrence about two weeks from today. There doesn't appear to be a strong case for snow, but colder temperatures are looking more and more likely by the day. We have enjoyed highs in the 60s and 70s for much of October and so far in November, but this cold snap could bring us our first few days of highs in the 40s. It's a long way off, so much remains to be seen. I'll have updates in the coming days. Have a great weekend.

Paloma Continues to Strengthen

Hurricane Paloma will likely become a strong category 2 or even a category 3 major hurricane before making landfall in central Cuba.  Strong westerlies in the southeast U.S. will steer Paloma south and east of the U.S. mainland, taking the storm over the Bahamas, and then into the open waters of the Atlantic.
