Meteorologist Mark’s Severe Wx Concern
Threats
Thunderstorms are possible on Wednesday but it now appears that the severe threat has diminished. Still, I can’t rule a strong storm or two. Overall, the next seven days are looking free of any severe storm threat.
On This Day in Wx History
1967 – Excessive rains in southern California caused the most severe flooding and the most damaging mud slide in 33 years. Downtown Los Angeles received eight inches of rain, and 14 inches fell in the mountains. For perspective, Los Angeles gets about 14 inches of rain a year.

Tropical Outlook
The tropics are still trying to develop at least one more storm in the Atlantic this season. The chances are low, at this point, but it’s a possibility. The good news is that the system, should it develop, would stay out to sea.
Today’s National Wx Hazards
Accumulating snowfall is likely across Minnesota and parts of Colorado and northwest Montana today. Elsewhere, unsettled weather can be found along a cold front across the middle of the country, but hazardous weather is not expected with that activity.
Tomorrow’s National Wx Hazards
A wintry mix of precipitation can be found across the Northeast, with hazardous driving conditions possible. Accumulating snowfall can be found across the Upper Midwest, the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, and western Colorado. Much unsettled weather exist across the eastern half of the country but severe storms are not a forecast hazard.

NASA Nerdology
Happy belated birthday to astronomer Edwin Hubble, born on this day in 1889. Hubble proved that the universe contains multiple galaxies, rather than just the Milky Way. He’s the namesake of the Hubble Telescope. Hubble would have turned 131 years old yesterday. We sure have come a long way since then!
