10/22/2013 Daily Update: More Cloudy and Showery, Lorenzo Forms in the Atlantic

Good morning everyone!

Turning more cloudy throughout the day with a few, brief showers around. Also breezy as well, highs in the lower to mid 60s. Rain chances tomorrow with flurries possible in higher elevations, MUCH cooler with highs in the lower 50s. Have a good day!

  • Lorenzo forms in the Atlantic, becoming the 12th storm of the season. Should remain weak with no threats to land.
  • Francisco is down to a Category 1 and is less of a threat for Japan
  • Lekima upgraded to a typhoon, already a Category 3 but seems to be relatively harmless save for a few islands SE of Japan
  • Raymond still a major Category 3 hurricane off the SW Mexican coastline but now reversing track and turning away from Mexico
  • There were no earthquakes rated at or above M6 yesterday or so far today.
  • An M1-class flare was produced by 1875 and a massive filament erupted with a partly Earth-directed CME component. Per models, a weak solar storm may impact around Thursday.

P.S. Spreadsheets used to keep track of snowfall totals for the SNE Snowfall Contest are up. They will be updated frequently and after every snowfall event. They are a good resource to keep up to date on the latest numbers. Check them out!
