Belmont Resident, this time of year is always a toss-up for weather. The seasons will battle it out until the incoming winter season wins. As they go back and forth we'll have warm spells ("Indian summer") followed by cold spells. October starts tomorrow. Several Octobers in the past decade have brought us the first snowfall of the season.
We are expecting the first sub-freezing weather of the new season to begin as soon as this tropical stuff moves through here. On the weathermap at this moment is a cold front, to our west. That's the leading edge of the cold air mass moving at us from the west. The remnants of "Nicole" are northbound along the I-95 states.
Nicole first, then things chill off. Perhaps frozen puddles on Sunday and Monday morning.
The remnants of Nicole are focusing on areas just to our west -- Vermont and New York state. That is where the heaviest rain will fall. We will still have heavy rain here, but not as much. Along with the remnants of Nicole there have been tornado watches issued since last night. As the storm moves north, the tornado potential has moved with it.
Currently a tornado watch is posted as far north as New Jersey, while a lesser potential for tornadoes exists as far north as Connecticut and Rhode Island. This will change as the weather moves north.
