STORM AROUND ELECTION DAY...AND OTHER FORECAST ISSUES

PREDICTABILITY OF FORECAST PERIOD: MEDIUM

The last overview is basically on track.

First, the weekend is looking quite chilly, with readings near 50 both Saturday into Sunday. The winds will be breezy on Saturday, making it feel like it's in the lower 40s or lower during the day.

INTELLICAST WINDS


ACCUWEATHER SLIDE:



Second, the storm for early next week is looking more and more like it's a Tuesday/Wednesday problem. A cold, very chilly storm is in the offing if it tracks near us; based on the latest data, the prospects are increasing. 

As noted before, it will not be anywhere near the historic storm we just experienced; rather, it'll be more of a typical, fall nor'easter. The likely affects are going to be a cold,  very chilly rainfall, with perhaps some inland wintry precipitation. Snow may be seen in the air (mixed with primarily rain) in NYC on Wednesday.



The actual weather on Election Day is not likely to affect voter turnout.

WEATHER-WISE AND OTHERWISE, SLOW IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE WEEK

1. Remnants of the storm will cause the risk of a shower Wednesday through Friday. Unstable air mass left in its wake. Highs in the 50s. Lows in the 40s at night.

2. Saturday and Sunday are breezy, but clouds finally get scoured out. Highs are cooler with wind. Saturday's highs could be stuck in the 40s, with freezing temps possible north and west of NYC.

Intellicast Temps:


3. Another possible coastal storm Monday/Tuesday. Potential is far, far less with this storm as few will rival what we just witnessed with deadly merging of Sandy with another storm; nature of storm if it developed would be a typical fall storm, with rain and winds. Will need updating later on.
