Tropical Storm “Zeta” is on the verge of becoming a hurricane again as it pushes away from the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico and out over the southern Gulf of Mexico. After that, “Zeta” will likely head to a landfall later tomorrow in the southeastern part of Louisiana – probably as a category 1 hurricane – and then it’ll turn to the northeast and bring significant rainfall to the Tennessee Valley, Mid-Atlantic region and southern New England.

While the Atlantic Basin tropical scene remains active, an Arctic blast has brought record-breaking cold to portions of the western and central US as well as some unusual early season accumulating snow. In fact, the accumulating snow will take place all the way down to New Mexico and Texas over the next 48 hours or so with some spots likely receiving a foot or more. Meanwhile, the remains of Tropical Storm “Zeta” are likely to produce significant rainfall across the Tennessee Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US from Thursday into Friday after making a mid-week landfall in the central Gulf coastal region. By later Friday, some of the cold air from this Arctic Blast will makes its way into the Northeast US and it could result in a changeover to snow in interior, higher elevation locations as moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm “Zeta” passes through the region.

Tropical Storm “Zeta” is on the verge of becoming a hurricane over the northwestern part of the Caribbean Sea and will likely cross the northeastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula region of Mexico during the next day or so. After that, “Zeta” will likely heads to a mid-week landfall in the central Gulf coastal region – probably as a category 1 hurricane – and then it’ll turn to the northeast and bring significant rainfall to the Tennessee Valley and Mid-Atlantic regions.

It has already been quite cold for this time of year across much of the interior Northwest and Northern Plains with significant accumulating snow in many areas in recent days and the worse may be yet to come. An Arctic blast will send temperatures plunging over the next few days all the way down to the southwestern US and southern Plains and accumulating snow can fall all the way down to states like Texas and New Mexico. In addition, numerous record low temperatures are likely to fall from the Northern Rockies to the southern Plains during this unusual late October cold wave. Meanwhile, in the tropics, Hurricane “Epsilon” will turn to the northeast and accelerate this weekend out over the open waters of the North Atlantic. Another tropical system will intensify over the northwest Caribbean Sea – likely reaching tropical storm status this weekend – and then it could head towards the central Gulf coastal region by the middle of next week.

Above-normal temperatures will continue for much of the week in the Tennessee Valley at the same time it turns considerably colder-than-normal across the interior NW and Northern Plains. A strong cold front will approach the area at week’s end and a downward trend in temperatures will begin on Friday and continue into the weekend. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will increase by Friday with the approach of the strong cold front, but rain-free conditions should dominate until then.

This is the time of the year in which summer is trying to hold on at the same time winter is trying to make a statement that cold and snow is on the way.
