The vortex disruption over the North Pole-- Stratosphere first, troposphere second, continues to evolve and is projected to peak as this month ends, with the lag effect continuing to push the jet stream around into at least the first part of November. First blog on this was back on October 14th.

As the pieces on the weather chess board move around, the atmospheric river slamming the West Coast moves inland and East and the first Nor’Easter of the season takes shape for New England. This will play a roll in the coming cool down here.

Power outages will be likely in parts of the NE U.S. with the system from heavy rain and powerful wind gusts.

For us nothing too extreme and no freeze expected here but the chill will be the most noticeable of the autumn so far.
