After an excruciatingly long wait for the weather pattern to change, it looks like huge changes are right around the corner.
Let me begin by saying something I have mentioned a couple of times on twitter and Facebook - Halloween looks to be chilly and costumes should be sized accordingly to allow for winter coats. Historical averages has 57/36 for the high and low and I think we will be a 10-12 degrees cooler.
Rain chances increase beginning this weekend and it will kick off what will be a wet winter. (This drought will be a distant memory come spring 2011.) The fall severe weather season will also be starting back up too. While I am not very confident of our severe chances locally, some strong gust winds from an associated low pressure will make Tuesday miserable.
A similar set up produced a few late season tornadoes and lots of wind reports in 2001.
Jumping ahead to Halloween, you can see the cold shot of air over much of the area.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a few flakes early in November. Not to give away the Winter Outlook scheduled for a November 1 release but Winter is going to come early this year.
