Once again (as is so often the case) the European (ECMWF) forecast model correctly forecast the track and location of our Halloween storm. This storm ended up digging further south and west as well as a little slower than the other models forecast. The net result was a colder and wetter Halloween than most had expected.
Hobbs reported their first frost of the season this morning with a low of 32º at the airport. The rest of us had lows in the 30's and the 20's were common in the Sac's.
