Extreme Weather for October 18

Good afternoon,


Temperatures through the Northeast will take a dip this weekend as a blast of chilly air from Canada will make its way into the northern section of the country bringing temperatures up to 10 degrees below where they should be this time of the year.

Saturday will begin with a mix of sun and clouds along with mild temperatures and isolated showers as a cold front swings through the area bringing November like temperatures by the evening. Those in the area should also expect to see gusty winds which are forecast to accompany the cooler air along with a few snowflakes which may be seen for the first time since the winter season ended earlier this year.

Temperatures on Sunday are expected to range from the 40s to the 50s with feels like temperatures dipping into the 30s as a few factors such as winds, cloud cover and temperatures merge with one another. The cooler weather will remain through the beginning of the week before the return of soggy weather as a storm system forms and moves along the northeastern coast. 

Tropics:

Gonzalo remains a powerful category 3 with winds roaring at 115 mph as it moves NNE approaching the island of Bermuda where a hurricane warning continues to be in effect. Dangerous storm surge and up to 6 inches of rain are expected in Bermuda Friday evening into Saturday. By Saturday, Gonzalo will begin to weaken as it takes aim at Newfoundland where it is expected to make landfall as a weak category 1 or possibly a tropical storm.

Have a safe weekend!
