- A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Long Island until 9:00 this morning (see 1st image).
- Hurricane Epsilon has started to weaken (maximum sustained winds of 110 mph) as the eye has filled in, and it will pass well east of Bermuda tonight into tomorrow morning while gradually weakening. It will eventually become an incredibly powerful north Atlantic extratropical storm.
- Here's the latest on the system in the western Caribbean that will b e moving across Cuba and towards the northern Bahamas: A trough of low pressure located over the western Caribbean Sea is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms which primarily extend near Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba. Development of this system is unlikely to occur during the next few days as it passes near western Cuba and moves over the Straits of Florida. By late this weekend or early next week, however, some slow development is possible while the system moves generally northeastward from near the northwestern Bahamas toward the western Atlantic. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible over portions of Cuba, South Florida, and the Bahamas through early next week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
- It still looks like a slight chance of another tropical system in the southern Caribbean in early November.
- Below normal temperatures are expected in the northeast at the end of the month into early November, and with it will come snow chances for northern New England. As for Halloween, it looks like a chilly one (see 6th image).
