| Storm weakens. The Atlantic and eastern Pacific are quiet
October 31, 2009
South
A cold front will be pressing into the Southeastern portions of the region today setting off a period of rain. Out ahead of the front there will be a few showers while behind the front a band of post frontal rains will keep the wet weather threat going for a few hours after the frontal passage. Further west, across the lower Mississippi Valley into the Southern Plains dry weather will dominate. The front will separate the warm from the cool today. Highs will range from the 80s ahead of the front in the Carolinas, southern Georgia and Florida while closely following the front 50s and 60s will rule from the Tennessee Valley into the Mississippi Valley. Temperatures will recover nicely today in the Southern Plains with highs reaching back into the 70s. By Sunday, a wave of low pressure riding along the front will threaten to keep the rain going over the eastern Carolinas. Other than this area the rest of the South will end the weekend on a sunny note.
Midwest
The storm system that gave the region all the rain yesterday will be pulling northward into Southern Canada today. The last of the steady rain will exit the Ohio Valley during the early afternoon hours today while wrap around rain and snow showers will linger throughout much of the day around the northern Great Lakes. The powerful storm to the north will whip up winds in the 20-30 mph range in an area from the upper Midwest south and eastward through much of the Ohio Valley. Highs today will be range from the 30s in the Upper Midwest to the 50s in the Ohio Valley and the western Dakotas. Further south over the Missouri Valley highs will top out in the 60s. A clipper like system will swing a cold front into the northern portions of Minnesota Sunday bringing with it a chance for a few rain and snow showers to an area from the Arrowhead of Minnesota to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The remainder of the Midwest will see a day full of sun and moderating temperatures.
Northeast
A cold front will sweep through the region during the day today. Showers will develop ahead of the front with some light rain lingering behind the front. Look for rain at start the day from Buffalo to Charleston West Virginia. The area of rain will steadily progress eastward today reaching to areas just west of the I-95 corridor by late this afternoon. The area of rain will reach from Boston to New York to Philadelphia to Norfolk this evening which may dampen the evening for both ?trick or treaters? and for fans attending game 3 of the World Series. It will remain mild and breezy ahead of the approaching front with highs ranging from the 60s in central and southern New England to the lower 80s in the Tidewater of Virginia. The front will push out to sea by the Sunday morning leaving the region dry. It will turn cooler Sunday with highs ranging from the 40s in far north to the 60s over southeast portions of Virginia.
West
A cold front will continue to press eastward through the Pacific Northwest during the day today reaching the Northern Rockies by this evening. Rain showers and higher elevations snows will spread eastward with the front while the remainder of the west will remain precipitation free. Strong winds will develop along the Front Range today as down sloping will aid in pushing wind gusts in excess of 40 mph along the eastern slopes of the northern Rockies. Highs today will range from the 40s in the mountains to the 50s and 60s from the western High Plains to the Pacific Northwest. The warmest spot in the west will be over the desert Southwest where highs will reach back into the 80s. Just a few hit or miss showers will be found over parts of the northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest on Sunday with the vast majority of the West ending up with sunny skies along with warmer temperatures.
In The Tropics
ATLANTIC/EASTERN PACIFIC
The Atlantic and eastern Pacific are quiet.
WESTERN PACIFIC
In the western Pacific, Mirinae has weakened rapidly to a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph. Now west of the Philppines, Mirinae is heading for southern Vietnam. The storm moved through the Philippines quickly minimizing flooding. Winds gusted to near 50 mph in Manila. Another disturbance following Mirinae could bring yet another bout of rain to the Philippines in a few days.

Why is it that people who never pay attention to the weather are always the first to complain.
