October 25 Weather Chilly Rain Plus Tropical Storm Zeta And Record Snow

Sunday October 25 2020

There is so much going on with the weather, and it all may play a role for us.  Today, we have a chilly northeasterly wind that will keep us in the 40s while rain arrives from the south. This will end by Monday morning, but a lot more is on the way.

The two other weather headlines include:

Snow- Record snow cover in the US with another storm about to cross Colorado into Texas.

Tropical Storm Zeta formed and forecast to be a hurricane before reaching Louisiana. That will bring us heavy rain at the end of the week ahead.

These numbers may not move all day. So what you have this morning is likely to be the same this afternoon.

The Other Weather Headlines

Record Snow Cover

The recent stormy pattern has left 19.2% of the US covered in snow, as of  this morning. This is the most for this early in the calendar season on record!

More snow is on the way for Colorado, which will help the wildfires. That storm will dive into west Texas and play role in the next storm set up.

 

Tropical Storm Zeta

The new tropical storm is the 6th in the Greek Alphabet. Note, ‘Z’ is not the last letter.  But this may be the last straw.  That storm is forecast to follow a familiar path across Mexico’s Yucatan and into Louisiana!

 

Forecast Track/Cone

• The outlook for this storm is so similar to many others over the last few months.
• This is forecast to be a hurricane Tuesday, and make landfall by Wednesday afternoon.
• The inland path will bring heavy rain to the Mid Atlantic by the end of the week.

 

Let’s Put It all Together

Starting Tuesday, we will see the snow storm reaching Texas AND Zeta as a Hurricane in the same map.  The energy will merge, helping to feed and funnel the rain into a strong storm for our region. See the animation below.

Track Monday morning through Friday afternoon.

This storm track is important. I believe we have set up a weakness in the atmosphere and we will repeat this through the winter.  This will test the atmospheric memory theory.

 

 

 

Quick Snapshot

We get a break form the rain Monday and Tuesday, with afternoon temps back to the lower 60s.  Then rain returns Wednesday with HEAVY RAIN Thursday and Friday.
