| Heavy rain Southeast; snow Rockies; Hurricane Season Kaput
October 27, 2009
South
Heavy rain will spread across the Southeast today as an area of low pressure moves from the Gulf Coast through the region. The heavy rain will move into the Carolinas and Virginia tonight, then off the coast tomorrow with only a few showers and thunderstorms expected near the Atlantic Coast Wednesday morning and early afternoon. Farther west, a storm system moving out of the Rockies will bring gusty winds over the Southern Plains tomorrow, then storms tomorrow night and Thursday. Storms will spread into the Lower Mississippi Valley as well Thursday, then across the Southeast Friday and Saturday. Ahead of this new system, warm weather is expected to expand from Florida to other areas across the Southeast before cooling down after the frontal boundary moves through. Highs today will range from around 50 in the North Carolina Mountains to near 90 in Central and South Florida.
West
A storm system organizing in the West today will bring heavy snow to many areas in the Rockies. Winds will strengthen throughout the day and into the overnight hours tonight as an area of low pressure at the surface strengthens. While much of the region should see rain and/or snow, the Southwest should stay dry. Strong winds, along with the low humidity, will lead to a high fire danger as well as blowing dust throughout much of the Southwest. Rain and snow will spill into the High Plains tonight and tomorrow, with heavy snow possible in the Colorado and Wyoming Rockies. Gusty winds will continue over much of the region as well, but begin to subside in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. Snow will begin to taper off Thursday, but a new system will move into the Northwest late week with the Northwest staying unsettled through the weekend. Much cooler temperatures will spread across the region in the coming days, with some areas in the Rockies and High Plains seeing highs as much as 30 degrees below average Wednesday and Thursday. Highs today will range from the 20s in the higher elevations of the Rockies, Tetons, and Wasatch Mountains, to the upper 80s in the Lower Colorado River Valley.
Northeast
An area of low pressure moving up the East Coast will bring rain along the coast today. Moisture from the system in the South will work its way northward tonight into tomorrow bringing a chance of rain through the region through tomorrow night. After dry days Thursday and Friday, rain returns Friday night through the weekend. Highs today will range from the mid 30s in northern Maine to the mid 60s in western sections of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Midwest
Rain from the system in the South will move northward through the Ohio Valley and central Great Lakes today and tonight, moving out Wednesday. The system in the West will begin to move into the Western Plains tonight and tomorrow, with winds beginning to crank up on Wednesday. Rain and thunderstorms will become more widespread tomorrow night and Thursday in the Plains and Mississippi Valley, spreading eastward through Friday. The surface low should strengthen late week, leading to windy conditions across the region Friday and Saturday. Some rain and snow is possible near the Canadian border over the weekend. Highs today will mostly be in the 50s and 60s, with a few 40s near the Canadian border.
In The Tropics
WESTERN PACIFIC
As of Tuesday morning (Eastern time), Tropical Storm 23W was moving away from Guam, with 45 mile per hour winds. The center was located about 130 miles northwest of Guam, and was moving to the west-northwest near 20 miles per hour. This tropical storm is forecast to become a typhoon Tuesday, and could threaten the Philippines by the weekend.
CENTRAL PACIFIC
Neki's remnants (several hundred miles northwest of Hawaii) will be absorbed by a frontal system moving through the North Central Pacific today. This front will eventually reach the west coast of North America late week.
ATLANTIC/EASTERN PACIFIC
Closer to the U. S., the Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins remain quiet. Typically by this time of year, 93% of the Atlantic hurricane season is over and about 98% of the eastern Pacific season is done. So, while a late-season storm cannot be ruled out in either basin, historically, chances are slim.

Why is it that people who never pay attention to the weather are always the first to complain.
