Rina is a tropical storm with 60 mph winds and is not  well organized at all with almost no southern side and not super high cloud tops.

97L is devoid of convection and is not organized at all.

Today will feature rain in the morning changing to snow as the day goes on. This changeover to snow will happen first in the mountains then the coast will get the white stuff later in the day.

As of 5 Rina is still a hurricane with 75 mph sustained winds. The system is very disorganized and only has a scap of an eyewall left. The storm is headed for the yucatan peninsula.

97L now does not even have a remote shot at developing. I agree.

  Still active with a disorganized Rina, a shortwave over the US, 97L in the central carribean, and a powerful N atlantic storm by greenland

Well here we go. We have rain, some heavy moving in. This will help the cold air to filter down from the higher levels of the atmosphere. After a day of rain we will get some snow overnight. There will be no accumulation. The storm will be gone by Friday.

Stay tuned
