No Weather so Time Change Tonight Biggest News.

I just finished resetting all the clocks in my house as at 2 AM on Sunday, we switch back to standard time.  I've heard folks say "we lose an hour of daylight".  Not so, we just shift the hour so the sun rises earlier in the morning and sets earlier in the afternoon.  The actual length of daylight is changing due to the rotation of the Earth around the sun that creates our seasons.  Whatever, I just don't like it dark at 5 PM.



With the upper flow across the U.S. mainly zonal, we have very little weather happening anywhere except along the West Coast.



The few showers over the Missouri Valley are not amounting to very much.  Past Novembers have often seen powerful storms with the battle between increasing cold air & retreating warm air.  One such storm over the Great Lakes on Nov. 10, 1975 sunk a huge iron ore ship called the Edmund Fitzgerald.



All 29 crew members died as the freighter broke apart before it could even send out a distress signal.  No such storms around this November so far.





I see no real cold air returning here for the next 7-10 days, or longer.




Finally, the Tropics remain quiet with the disturbance over the western Caribbean moving into Central America.  There is a small swirl off the Georgia coast that would bear watching IF we were back in August or September.



Again, remember to fall back those clocks before you go to bed tonight.  I'm thinking Saints 38, Bears 17, Who Dat!  Stay tuned!
