11/7 - 4:30pm - Cooler Week Ahead, Hurricane Paloma

A cooler weekend and week lies ahead due to the passage of a cold front today. Highs will struggle to reach 50 around the area tomorrow with the same story playing out for Sunday. Looks like we'll stay in the 50's next week with plenty of rain chances. Also, the GFS model has flurries in the forecast for sometime around the 19th or so. This is still way out, but we're getting to the time of year where snow flurries are a real possibility.

Its late in the season, but Hurricane Paloma has been making headlines in the Caribbean as a Category 2 storm. It looks like it will weaken a bit and then cut through Cuba this weekend:

Paloma is a beast of a storm. Rapidly intensifying to a cat 4. These late season powerhouse storms always seem to occur every few years. I always think back to Hurricane Mitch this time of year. Also, poor Cuba is going to get hammered again. They just haven't had any time to regroup this year. Also, does anyone else still have Ike tree debris in their neighborhood or is it just mine?

We've cleared out the stuff from the yard, but our surrounding woods still has limbs scattered about.
