Only the western Pacific is active 3:06 p.m. ET ET Sun., Oct.17, 2004 John Desjardins, Senior Meteorologist, The Weather Channel As the 2004 hurricane season begins to wind down, there is no significant activity in either the Atlantic or eastern Pacific tropical basins. However, the western Pacific remains quite active. Typhoon Tokage has sustained winds of 130 mph. The typhoon is forecast to weaken over the next several days. However, the forecast track curves the typhoon to the north and northeast and it may impact Japan midweek. Japan has already been hit by a record nine tropical systems this season and does not need another. Farther east, Tropical Storm Nock-Ten is strengthening. Nock-Ten could become a typhoon later today and may impact Guam later this week.

Wet weather for the Midwest/West 2:41 P.M. ET 10/17/2004 John Desjardins, Senior Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Midwest The same disturbance that brought rain to Southern California on Sunday will invigorate a developing storm system across the Plains. As this storm drifts eastward, it will encounter deep Gulf moisture across the Mississippi Valley. The result will be showers and thunderstorms across the Midwest Monday afternoon. Some of the storms will likely be severe, with large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes possible from northern Arkansas and western Tennessee into central Illinois. The remainder of the Ohio Valley will also see scattered showers and thunderstorms overspreading the region on Monday. Farther west, an upper-level disturbance will move across the northern Plains, delivering rain showers to that area. Chilly temperatures will linger across the northern tier, with Monday’s highs only in the 30s and 40s from the northern High Plains into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Temperatures will moderate heading south, with 70-degree readings expected from Kansas, through Missouri, and into western Kentucky. West Sunday was a wet day across much of the West and a more potent storm system will begin moving inland on Monday. Scattered showers will be widespread from the Great Basin into the Rockies, with heavier rain being seen later in the day along the Washington and Oregon coasts. The higher terrain of the Bitterroots and Tetons will see snow, and several inches may accumulate. Light rain showers may extend all the way into Southern California, with the driest conditions in the region being in Arizona and New Mexico. Temperatures across the region will be cool, generally five to ten degrees below average. Expect widespread readings in the 40s and 50s across northern portions, with 60s in the central California valleys, and 70s in the Desert Southwest. A deep trough setting up over the West will keep the area cool and unsettled through midweek. South The beginning of the work week will be quite pleasant, at least in terms of temperatures, across much of the South. With high pressure moving off the Southeast coast, a mild southerly wind will overtake the area. As a result, temperatures will be quite mild for this time of year. On Monday, look for 70s across much of the Carolinas, with 80s southward into Florida and the eastern Gulf Coast. Expect highs in the 80s and even 90s across the southern Plains. While Florida should see a good bit of sunshine, look for mid- and high-level cloudiness to muddle an otherwise pleasant sunny day. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are possible across the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys Monday afternoon. Northeast The system that has been plaguing the Northeast with rain and wind for the past couple of days will exit the region for Monday. Sunny skies are expected from New England into the Delmarva Peninsula. It will remain on the cool side, though, with highs in the 50s and 40s across the mountainous regions. Clouds will be on the increase throughout the day across the Mid-Atlantic. Showers are possible by later in the day from western New York southward through the Virginias. The clouds and showers will hold temperatures in the 50s and 60s.

Dual threats in the Western Pacific Basin 7:52 p.m. ET ET Sat.,Oct.16,2004 Jonathan Erdman, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel While Floridians have certainly had enough of this 2004 tropical season, they have nothing on the storm- weary Japanese. Typhoon Tokage may become the 10th storm to threaten the island chain early next week. The previous record for most tropical cyclones to impact Japan was 6 in 1990. Tokage is expected to gradually lose steam as it moves north-northeastward toward southern Japan. However, it may still threaten southern Japan as a minimal typhoon by Tuesday or Wednesday, U.S. time. On the heels of Tokage is Tropical Storm Nock- Ten, slowly gathering strength several hundred miles ESE of Guam. Nock- Ten may become a typhoon late Sunday night or early Monday (U.S. time), then potentially threaten Guam by Tuesday or Wednesday (U.S. time). Fortunately, the Atlantic Basin continues to be quiet. An area of low pressure southwest of the Azores is non-tropical in nature, meaning tropical cyclone development is not anticipated. A couple of thunderstorm clusters in the eastern Pacific basin bear watching, but neither is expected to develop further in the next 24 hours. One cluster is being drawn northwestward about 200 miles west of Manzanillo, Mexico. Since this cluster is being influenced by increasingly strong winds aloft, development is highly unlikely. A second disorganized cluster about 250 miles south of Acapulco is also not expected to develop further.

Weather pattern change underway 2:50 P.M. ET 10/16/2004 R. Hulecki, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Northeast More showers, gusty winds, and cool temperatures are in the forecast for the Northeast on Sunday. The nearly stationary low pressure system that brought miserable weather to the region will start to move out of the Great Lakes on Sunday and be out of the region by early in the week. Most of the rain and showers will remain around the Great Lakes but isolated showers are not out of the questions along the Eastern Seaboard. Once again on Sunday, westerly winds will blow between 15 and 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph throughout the Northeast. Clouds will develop during afternoon heating and a few isolated showers are possible through sunset. Morning lows in the 40s are expected along the coast with 30s elsewhere. Sunday afternoon highs will warm into the 50s for much of the Northeast except around the lakes where the 40s will remain. A general warming trend is expected by midweek with high temperatures in the 60s across New England and the 70s in New York. Midwest Unfortunately for the Upper Midwest, the cold, wet weather will stick around Sunday and through at least the middle of next week. The area of low- pressure that brought very poor weather to the Great Lakes will slowly rotate toward the northeast but will be replaced with several quick moving systems. The first system is rather weak and will bring a few showers and snow showers to the Dakotas and the northern Great Lakes on Sunday. A second more vigorous storm is right on it’s heals bringing another round of rain and snow showers on Monday. The weather pattern has become very active and will keep the Midwest unsettled and stormy into next week. Portions of the Midwest will start to warm on Sunday as high pressure builds into the region. Sunday will start off cold with 20s extending from Canada into northern Illinois with the 30s around the Lakes and the Ohio Valley. Under partly skies afternoon highs will jump into the 60s and 70s from the central plains to the southern Ohio Valley. Clouds and cool Canadian air will keep the 30s and 40s from North Dakota to northern Michigan. A nice warming trend will start on Sunday and by Tuesday the highs in central Michigan will warm into the 60s with some 70s as far north as Toledo. South The Southeast will have one more cold morning on Sunday with lows in the 40s from central Alabama, through South Carolina down to the Piedmont of North Carolina. The Upper South will have frosty morning lows in the 30s. By Sunday afternoon, mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies and a ridge of high pressure will allow temperatures to jump into the 70s and 80s, with the mountains and Virginia in the 60s. The one fly in the ointment for the Southeast is a weak disturbance traveling across the mid-South. There might be enough moisture to support the development of a few showers and even a rumble of thunder across northern sections of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. A flat ridge will stay over the South through the middle half of next week which will equate to warmer days and nights but also means a better chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. West A very active weather pattern has taken hold in the West. Both corners of the West coast will experience weather on Sunday with two separate storm system moving ashore. A storm sitting off the central California coast will move ashore on Sunday bringing the first rain to Southern California since mid-April. If there is measurable rain in San Diego the record streak of dry days will come to an end. Locally heavy rain is forecast in Southern California as this storm moves through. In the Pacific Northwest several upper-level storms will encourage the weather pattern to flop from warm and sunny to cool and stormy. The first storm system will move through the Montana Rockies into the western high Plains bringing showers and snow showers. The second storm will dig south into Oregon and Northern California on Sunday. Rain and snow will accompany the storm as it barrows its way into the Intermountain West. Snow levels will fall to below pass levels Sunday night to around 5000 feet where 4-6” of snow accumulation is likely. Winds will also be a factor through Sunday night from along the Oregon and California Coastlines to the Sierra Nevada Range. This storm will help develop a trough of low pressure in the West that will keep the western half of the nation stormy and unsettled. The West will also start to cool down on Sunday with highs in the 40s and 50s in the Pacific Northwest with 60s and 70s in the Great Basin and Southern California with a few 80s in the Arizona and the deserts.

Atlantic staying quiet, Active NW Pacific still 8:46 p.m. ET Fri.,Oct.15,2004 James Wilson, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel In the eastern Pacific, a disturbed area of weather 500 hundred miles to the south of Manzanillo, Mexico continues to be watched for possible development as it heads slowly westward. In the Atlantic, the area of non-tropical low pressure near the Azores is not expected to organize as it moves over colder water. Typhoon Tokage in the western Pacific, east of the Philippines, will continue to slowly strengthen and then peak over the next few days as it heads northwest and then north. Residents and visitors to southern Japan will want to monitor this system for its possible impacts. A tropical depression well to the east-southeast of Guam is forecast to become a tropical storm today. Its name would be Tropical Storm Nock-ten and it could attain minimal typhoon strength in the next few days as it heads generally westward.

Chilly Midwest to Northeast, Showery Northwest 9:35 P.M. ET 10/15/2004 James Wilson, Meteorologist, The Weather Channel Northeast A strengthening upper-level low over the Great Lakes will help to keep the Northeast blustery throughout the weekend. The cold front slammed through to end the widespread rain for the region. However, look for the showery pattern to hold in the interior sections, especially off the warm waters of the Great Lakes with the unstable air keeping the wet conditions going Saturday but diminishing by Sunday. At least the weather in Boston will dry out today allowing the Yankees and Red Sox to resume their playoff games. On Monday, the next cold front will roll showers back into the western half of the region Monday and the whole region on Tuesday. Midwest It will be generally cold and breezy today. Most showers will primary stay confined to the Great Lakes where lake-enhancement will lead to a better chance of measurable precipitation. Snow showers are in the forecast for northern Minnesota and western North Dakota as cold air mixes with lingering moisture. Generally, elsewhere around the Midwest cloudy skies, cool temperatures, and breezy conditions will rule the day. Low temperatures Saturday morning will range from the teens in the Dakotas, to the 20s in Nebraska, the 30s from Kansas to Wisconsin, and the 40s in the Ohio River Valley. Afternoon highs will only warm into the 30s from North Dakota to northern Minnesota with a widespread patch of 40s from South Dakota to Michigan. Slightly warmer conditions are forecast from Kansas to Kentucky with 60s and 50s. Look for a slight warming trend for southern sections of the Midwest on Sunday out ahead of a developing storm system. The northern Great Plains should be on the look out for more cold air and light snow on Sunday. South Winds will stay rather gusty today across much of the region as a weak disturbance flys across. Clouds will move into the Southeast as the disturbance moves through keeping afternoon high temperatures down. Under mostly cloudy skies high temperatures will only warm into the mid 60s from the Piedmont of North Carolina to northern Arkansas. Afternoon highs will be warmer from coastal South Carolina to the Panhandle of Texas topping out in the 70s and 80s. A warming trend will start on Sunday as a high builds off the East Coast and southerly winds replace the cold north winds. Look for temperatures to rebound to the 70s and 80s for most of the Southeast on Sunday. West In the West the pattern is about to change as new Pacific weather systems crash in on the region. One system will drop into the Pacific Northwest offering showers and mountain snow today. This storm will move east along the US/Canadian border bringing snow showers to the high plains of Montana and Wyoming. Right behind this storm is another upper-level low that will push farther south into Oregon and Northern California on Sunday bringing showers and cooler air to the region. Central and Southern California will start to cool down as upper-level low moves toward the California coast on Saturday. This storm will increase the marine layer from San Francisco to San Diego on Saturday keeping temperature cooler and helping to prime the atmosphere for showers on Sunday. The forecast on Sunday will turn showery from Central California to the deserts of Southern California as the upper-level low moves onshore. Temperatures will start to trend cooler on Saturday with highs ranging in the 50s in Washington to the 80s in the deserts of Arizona which is only about 5 degrees below average. On Sunday, the temperatures will range from 5 to 10 degrees below average from Idaho to Arizona.
