Wednesday, October 9th, 2013 - Morning Weather Discussion

Well, the National Weather Service confirmed that a tornado did reach the ground in Paramus, Bergen County on Monday.  Click here to read the article.  This was the same storm that I warned about at 2:37pm on Monday afternoon that I thought I saw a hook echo in, as it moved to the Northeast a tornado did eventually reach the ground.  Again, I have no idea why the National Weather Service did not issue a tornado warning at that point to warn people.  Also, I will not mention any names but a certain individual that heads a New York City radio station weather department said, "that the National Weather Service may have jumped the gun with the Tornado Watch".  I could not have disagreed more at that time by warning of a possible tornado.  I felt that a tornado warning should have been issued, never mind about a tornado watch.  Things like this just make me utterly speechless.  A tree did fall on a mother and daughter in Bergen County during that storm.  Click here to read that article.  Certainly if I can see this possibility with my limited time and this just being a hobby, you would think they could see the same thing.  I just don’t get it, but then again, I guess this is why you come here to my blog.  I will remind everyone that the advertisements that run on this blog don’t even come close to offsetting the cost for me to provide you with this information.  Anyway, moving forward, a coastal storm is forming as we speak and will bring us some really ugly weather from tonight through Monday, with heavy rain tomorrow and Friday and a continued chance for light rain and drizzle through Monday.  We will then finally get a nice day on Tuesday as this storm finally decided to move away prior to the next storm moving into our area from the west on Wednesday, again bringing heavy showers and thunderstorms.  It should then clear out for Thursday and Friday of next week before an upper level low brings us a chance for some showers next Saturday and Sunday, and there could even be some snow showers in the highest elevations of New York State and New England.  After this upper level low passes next weekend we should see the coldest temperatures yet this season, with a vegetation killing frost and freeze likely in many locations on the morning of Monday, October 21^st.  Things should stay nice for a few days, then by the following weekend we will have another storm system approach from the west that may end up bringing some areas of the Northeastern United States the first chance at an accumulating snow, yes this would be our chance at a late October surprise this particular year but it is much too early to tell if it will turn into anything more than just another chance of rain for our particular area.
