First Nor'easter of the Season?

Graphic from accuweather.com

Clear skies, a cool north breeze, today's weather looks so innocent. Ha! While it may be a sunny 55 this afternoon, tomorrow looks to be a meteorological crapfest. The upper level winds are changing from a west-to-east pattern, which has brings a succession of uneventful high and low pressure systems, to a more wavy north-south pattern. The changing pattern will bring about the first nor'easter of the season a bit ahead of schedule.

After a cool night tonight we can expect an overcast Thursday with rain beginning after noon. As the nor'easter strengthens the winds will pick up tomorrow night. Friday will see perfect baseball weather with more wind and rain and a high only in the mid 40s. The Catskills and Berkshires will see s___ mixed in with the rain (we refuse to use th s-word until after election day). The northeast winds and rain may result in coastal flooding.

The storm will begin to recede on Saturday but the northeast will still be under a circulation pattern that favors rainfall. Look for an overcast weekend with an ever present chance of a shower. The temperature will rebound all the way to the lower 50s on both Saturday and Sunday. Sunny and warmer weather will wait for the return of the work week.

Agree with the above posters in saying that cold and rainy is the worst fucking weather ever. It can only be made worse by throwing some wind in the mix which it looks like we'll have.

Give me cold and snowy any day over that shit.

I'm still waiting for the first ides_of_march, nicemarmot, valeriob, or longacre of the season.

Could not agree with you more. Snow rocks the party (though rain every now and then does make things kind of interesting, as well as enable life as we know it, so that's kinda cool).

If it's going to be in the 30s and 40s I rather it be snowing. What else is cold air good for?

Going to be a good weekend to catch up on some tv shows and watch movies.
