VERY rare for parts of northern Florida to drop below freezing for the first time of the season before parts of Nova Scotia! www.jacksonville.com/story/weathe...
How cold did it get in Florida? Did it snow? Here's where low temps broke records Tuesday
All over the state, Florida's records for cold weather Nov. 11 were broken or tied thanks to an unseasonably polar blast from the north.

Thursday weather here in Halifax expected to be quite similar to yesterday's...cool NW winds with showers especially in the morning. If you're around the waterfront or shoreline you'll notice the water level particularly high around 8 am due to full moon and low pressure. #nswx

Waiting on a dropsonde to confirm, but Melissa is most certainly below 900 hPa right now.
Tragically we are about to witness the 2nd or 1st deepest Atlantic hurricane landfall by min MSLP on record in Jamaica.

On Saturday driving over Mt Thom the blueberry fields next to the highway were beaming bright red as they usually do in late October. This and others also stand out in high-resolution satellite image.

Will Hurricane Melissa play any role in Atlantic Canada's weather? Still too early to know. There may be some wind/rain around Halloween even without Melissa. Here is a model prediction of the weather pattern Friday. #nswx

Not surprising to now see exceptional drought observed in parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the latest AAFC drought update. Almost all of Atlantic Canada remains in some form of drought, worst in the Maritimes and Avalon Peninsula. The full report: agriculture.canada.ca/en/agricultu...

Thanks to our citizen science volunteers for sharing rainfall data. While the Thanksgiving weekend is dry, later next week shows signs of the start of a somewhat damp period.
Bring it on!

High-res weather model rainfall forecast from the cold front tonight (1st image) and from sea-effect cold showers in the NW winds behind it (2nd image). Some of the peak amounts may be overdone but gives an idea of pattern and areas to expect some drought relief. #nswx #pewx
