Cold Front Moving Through Saturday for Average Fall Temps

Good evening! This week, and so far October in general has been really muggy, and unseasonably hot for fall! Fortunately, a break from the hot weather is coming soon. As a storm on Saturday moves through our region, a cold front moves behind it. By the time you wake up on Sunday, it won't be hot/muggy anymore outside. This will last for a bit too. Expect highs to be in the 60s and lows to be in the 40s/50s during this time period.



You can see around Saturday night/Early Sunday morning the blue/purple circle moves through our area. This is the cold front pushing in afterthe storm moves through our area. And it lasts for a couple of days too.

 

There really isn't much to say about this cold front other than that it will start to feel seasonal soon. However, long range models do suggest a stratospheric warming event around the end of October/start of November, bringing us some cold air(below-average temps) from the polar vortex. That is something to watch in the near future. Once November starts, all of the news stations will start to make their winter forecasts. This winter is going to be an interesting one.

Winter Storm Names for 2021-2022 Season Announced


Good evening everyone! The names have been announced a while ago, but just now I saw it. The Weather Channel has released their winter storm names for this winter season! The theme this year is that "old names are now new again". Again, this is unofficial, and not affiliated with NWS. A lot of people think that calling winter storms with names are a bad idea, but I personally don't see the harm in it! What do you think of the names this year?
