October 27, 2010: Historic storm - record low pressyre - storm damage

October 27, 2010

Good morning!

Today's weather map:





















Wow, what an event.  Thankfully our region was spared major damage.  There were a lot of storm damage reports, however, it could have been much worse.  So, we should be thankful!

This was the deepest non-tropical low pressure area ever recorded in the United States.  Read more here.

I will post the storm damage maps below.

The weather for the remainder of the week will be calm.  Some chilly nights.  But, not bad.  Halloween weekend should be dry!  Chilly nights - pleasant days. 

Here is your seven day forecast - click here.

We were looking for another system around Monday/Tuesday of next week.  However, that is in question.  I had forecasted rainfall totals of 1-2" across our entire area from last Friday through the first week of November.  I have only recorded .39" - however, many areas have picked up 1-2" over the last week.  So - hard to say if the forecast will verify for everyone.  I am watching a system for next week - we will see how it goes.  We still need rain - drought continues.

Some maps from the big storm!
