The weather, currently.
A chilly morning but a comfortable afternoon
It’s the first time this season that I get to mention “wind chill.” We are in for a cold Monday morning. Our low drops all the way down to 47°F but a north wind will make it feel like 42°F around 7am. That’s officially coat and hat weather. We rebound quickly though and end up with a mostly sunny day and a much more comfortable high of 60°F. The wind will be a bit calmer, too. This week is looking like a winner with lots of sunshine and mild temperatures! I hope that Monday takes it easy on ya.

What you need to know, currently.
Over the weekend two hurricanes make landfall — one in the Pacific, and one in the Atlantic.
Hurricane Tammy has been a rare late-October hurricane-strength storm in the tropical Atlantic, and meandered its way parallel to the Eastern Caribbean chain of islands before making landfall in Barbuda on Sunday. The storm caused intense flash flooding in Guadeloupe as well. Forecasts show that Tammy will continue meandering northwestward this week, but it’s still too early to say whether it will pose a threat to Bermuda or the US mainland.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Norma lashed the southern tip of Baja California before making a second landfall on the Mexico mainland over the weekend. It’s the fifth tropical cyclone to make landfall on Mexico’s Pacific Coast this year.
